This game is both a thinking game of play strategy, & a robot design challenge that can be very deep (it isn't just simply building stacks and walls)....People need to give it a chance...It will be much more exciting than you possibly think, and definitely a large challenge on field and off. Even more so, since "The Litter Dilemma" has been officially cured. (See todays 1-9-2014 updates).
Just give it a decent chance, as it was never intended to be "Battle Bots," and will be far from grown up FLL. (From 1 who taped enough carpet during 1 single regional event last year, to simply last a lifetime, those ultra-pushing matches and fully open field, aren't really all they seem to me cracked up to be from a gameplay/fan/schedule flow aspect). The field prep required between matches, delays you playing the game faster.

Way OFF TOPIC:
Did anyone else notice the yellow banana's on the "Official Arena/Field Drawings?" (They are spread all over the field from 1 end to the other and must be cookies planted as watermarks....Or, were/will be left to help feed the field building/teardown volunteer crew, and keep them from cramping up later those nights).
