Your nuclear game is weak. People who know me know that I can sustain a critical campaign against various flawed aspects of games and their administration by staff and volunteers for weeks, if motivated. But instead of issuing my own extended opinion this time, I will simply encourage any and all who have disagreements over the game to continue to voice them constructively. Please do ensure you fill out the event feedback surveys FIRST issues to competing teams each week - both students and mentors are free to fill these out. And yes, feel free to post your misgivings on CD. We know the GDC is listening. Identify the problem(s) and propose corrective action.

I am recognizing this game as a HOPEFULLY temporary divergence from a more traditional competition. If this type of game becomes the norm, FIRST can throw the "Sport for the Mind" and "Super Bowl of Smarts" taglines right out the window.

"Material Handling for the Mind"? It's definitely harder to capture the hearts and minds of the uninitiated when the vehicle is a forklift instead of a snazzy "sports" car.
