I agree. Running back and forth at the DoubleDECCer and watching both the Lake Superior and Northern Lights matches, I have to say the the LSR eliminations were easily some of the most exciting I can remember of the regionals I've been at. I have to imagine that's the game the GDC were hoping for-- nail-biter matches of teams playing neck-and-neck.
I didn't get a chance to watch many qualification matches this weekend, but with regards to eliminations this game really feels "complete"--watching a robot trying to grab that lass truss or 10 point goal to clinch the match is more exciting the hanging last year ever was.
Despite the fact that my team's robot really didn't perform well at Northern Lights (missing eliminations for the first time since 2011, barring Championships), I have to say this is probably my favorite game of my time as a student. The depth, the nail-biting eliminations, the simple rules with complex gameplay have lead to what I consider the exact opposite of a disappointing game.
