I couldn't disagree more!

This year's game results in intense, fast-paced action - at the Australia regional last week we had crowds and teams watching on the edge of their seats as the teams playing tried to reach the maximum points they could.

It's all about playing the game to the limit.

Also the fact that it's hard to build a robot to do everything, it makes strategically selecting complementary alliance partners incredibly important.

Without wishing to be negative, I think all this complaint (this isn't the first post of this type) about the 2015 game is completely misplaced. If you build a great robot, you will have heaps of fun trying to win.
