I like to separate the game's conceptual issues from issues with the rules.

Game Concept issues:
1. Undervalued catching considering how hard it was to do
2. I think the goalie size restraints were too strict. The 6 inch cylinder killed a lot of the viability. It's no surprise that so few teams went that route.

Rule/Execution issues:
1. Overvalued Technical fouls
2. Too much for the refs to watch
3. Confusion over robot-robot interaction. (G27, G28, etc.)

Other than that, I think Aerial Assist is the best game to date.

Many would argue that lone game pieces was a game flaw. I just think that FRC wasn't ready to have to work together with other teams so much.

This year was a reminder that year after year, many, if not a majority, of FRC teams don't get a competitive robot on the field. Whether or not next year's game is as alliance focused (which I hope it is), I can't wait to see how the FRC community will handle the possibility of close interaction again. A stronger focus on bringing everyone up to a competitive level is something we need.
