I am slightly disappointed with the game this year, last year our robot could push others if needed and it was really fun to watch a robot get shoved backward. Also I am worried about teams who are not mechanically inclined and would typically build a robot designed for defense. With that not being an option this year they may, unintentionally get in the way of teams who can stack. I can help someone program a robot from scratch on practice day, but building a manipulator on the limited resources found at a competition would be extremely difficult.

With that said, the Challenge, because that is what it is, should be interesting to play and watch.
