Re: Why does everyone hate this game so much?

I was speaking about this point with other mentors on my team: the term "assist" completely misled you about how extra points were gathered until you had a grasp on the wording and rules (I had to explain to multiple people how it actually worked). That, among with other issues already addressed in this thread, has made this both my favorite and most hated game in my 7 years in FIRST. To be honest, I was ok with no end game, primarily because the "buzzer beater" truss or score was just as stressful, edge of your seat action.

I have a lot of thoughts on this game. There are a lot of positives to take away, and nearly as many negatives. One thing I can say is that the strongest robots will win. The question is, how many strong robots look alike? Not. Many. And THAT, is my key takeaway this year.
