I think my personal favorite is probably 2012. It was fun to play and easy for observers to understand. For exciting match play, 2005 ranks pretty high. It was so easy for their to be big score changes really fast. (You complete one or two rows and take one or two away from you opponents.) On second thought, I think 2006 was probably just as good (and accessible to observers) a game as 2012, it's just that our robot was not as good in 2006 as in 2012.

The great thing is I have never gone to an FRC competition and not had fun. There have been plenty of times when I was frustrated and had fun, was elated and hand fun, was annoyed and had fun... but I have always had fun. Already some people have identified my least favorite game (Lunacy) as their favorite. Which is part of what makes FIRST cool. My initial reaction to the game this year was a resounding "meh" or something like close to it. But I have still been happy, entertained and engaged through the build season. Every time I have been underwhelmed by a game on kickoff day the reality has been an improvement.
