Re: Was Aerial Assist Better than Ultimate Ascent?

No. Aside from how this game played on Einstein everything else about it was some of the worst in FRC history.

The fact that only the best teams in the world were able to play this game the way it was meant to be is telling of how poorly thought out it was. The dependency of this game on having all 6 robots on the field working is a huge downside. A single dead robot almost always meant the match was over, and how heavily scheduling affected seeding order was a little bit ridiculous. This game was very poorly thought out. The only reason it was exciting to watch is because there was a single game piece and a wide open field which together maximized defensive interaction between alliances.
