Granted the sports based games are more prone to get the non robot folks in the stands attention, but is first trying to make robot basketball teams, or frisbee teams?? I don't think so. It is about getting the students to get their minds out of the proverbial box and to think. This game may not have the extreme fast pace, or the defense that some like to see, but it was a good challenge to see what the teams could and did come up with.
To all the complainers you have two choices......1: take the games for what they are and learn all you can learn, and build the "best" bot you can. 2: don't signup for next year cause you will probably find something to complain about then as well.
Personally I am more into watching my students take what they are given and running with it ! Watching the strategy change and unfold as they work with different teams. And most importantly watching them get comfortable outside the box!
