Re: Why does everyone hate this game so much?

This game is fun to play. Watching it is pretty boring if you don't a lot about the game. Also, if there aren't good teams playing a match, I could fall asleep. If good teams are playing (like Waterloo Regional elims), it's edge of your seat excitement.

I would agree with the statement that fouls decide matches. Every event I have watched so far, fouls TOTALLY swing matches.

I also don't like how much you have to rely on your alliance partners to win. I get FIRST's love of working together but if one robot loses comm. or breaks, the match is basically over. This happened in Finals match 2 at Waterloo. Don't get me wrong. I do like the coopertition idea.
