Re: Why does everyone hate this game so much?

It is really disappointing to see a game that is probably at its core the most exciting game to watch in FRC be marred by poorly thought out rules with massive gray areas. It's like they turned in the outiline and first page of the essay but didn't deliver on the rest. It just bums me out.

And I'm not on a team who built a kickin' robot that might get left out of a higher level of competition over the poor administration of the game.

To further elaborate, this game has amplified a lot of things that are both good and bad about FIRST and the FRC community as a whole. FRC can't brush weaker machines and teams under the rug this year. FRC teams who look like pillars of the community are going through emotional breakdowns. Volunteers are either gettign thrown into the fire or doing part of the throwing.
