Re: This year's "game" is a job, not a game

I hate to say it, but I found 2001 to be more entertaining than this year. At least that year you had the variable of stopping the clock and the race to see if you could complete the task faster. Additionally, in order to get max points the teams on the field had to work together whereas this year you typically have robots doing their own thing in their corner of the field. And the playoff format this year: zzzzzzzz.

Not in the SLIGHTEST.

There is a game so bad (or so ill-documented, your choice) that FIRST doesn't post its summary on their website in the archives. Fortunately, or not, some documentation is preserved by the TechnoKats History Project.

The name? Diabolical Dynamics. The year? 2001. The game? Score playground balls into goals, balance said goals on a seesaw, and get as many of your alliance to the far end of the field as possible before hitting the E-stop for a multiplier. Did I mention that it was played 4v0, with no second alliance on the field?


BTW, #2 on that list happens to be Lunacy (2009). This is a distant #3 at best. I'm still trying to decide whether I prefer Stack Attack (2003) or this game for the #3 spot on the "worst game" list.
