Re: The 2015 game is... Recycle Rush!

Man you guys don't like PvE...
Like a lot.
Yeah I understand that it might be boring to watch COMPARED to last year at a glance but I find the the real fun in this robotics is having metal through the arts of necromancy/sorcery/caffeine shape itself into a robot that performs in a competitive environment. If you want to have fun in FRC you can have a ton of it from being a participant instead of being a spectator (nothing against those who come to support) but I figure most of you on here are active participants in the build and not just like cheer leaders. I dunno I could be wrong.
You can compare this game to Aerial Assist but I find that insanely unfair due to the fact that it is not a PvP game it is now PvE. There is a video online of a cat playing Jenga on youtube (that I won't link cause TOS and you all can google) Now I dunno if you have ever just watched someone play Jenga but it is kinda boring until you have difficulty spikes then you have fun based around the tension in it. This game will seem low key to spectators but the feelings that the participants have will differ vastly. Fun doesn't have to be fast paced. This kind of fun is designed to be tense. It is designed to be a crowd watching a a robot attempt to put that recycling bin on the max stack in a hushed tone punctuated the roaring applause that accompanies success or the sting of "ohhhhhhh's" that signal you dun goof'd.
Give it a chance, of fun was determined by fast paced billion piece puzzles wouldn't exist.

So I got my jacket back, but it turns out the "W" in WPI doesn't stand for that steak sauce I can't pronounce.
Play is for kids this is serious...
