More on the topic of the game itself, I absolutely love it. No other game has ever been as effective in displaying FIRST's theme of coopertition, and it presents an entirely new style of play that has never been seen before. In games past, an awesome robot could carry their entire alliance without a problem. This year's game makes carrying next to impossible. Instead of 6 robots in colored bumpers scoring points individually, there are two clearly defined alliances playing the game together, in a group effort to score. Compared to previous games, strategies are extremely varied, and can be really unique. That is what makes this game really special, and if penalties weren't so bad, I would argue that this is by far the best game in the history of FRC.
