Re: What do you think of the game?
I would have liked to seen what the penalty points were for up on the board.
At GSD, we were seeing teams loosing by 100+ penalty points and it wasn't obvious why. I hear most of them were human player issues, but am not sure.
I think it took to the second day for the refs and volunteers to figure it out too.
I also didn't see consistant ball handling by the volunteers to the human players, it got confusing.
Human players weren't sure if they were "allowed" to get the ball off the peditstal, or they were going to be handed it, or if they could put it on the field.
And yes, what others have said, the games were exciting to watch, but some teams were playing "hit the robot so they'll drop the ball" or so it appeared.
These are just my observations from the stands... the first games are always a learning curve.. unfortunately.
