Suppose there was a requirement that attached components had to be motorized. (Because that's how this proposed rule would have to read - you can't make a rule specific to a "ramp".) Would that mean canburglars need motors?

Back to the original premise: You have to watch this game differently this year. OK, there's no interaction between alliances, and I agree, sometimes that can be exciting. We'll probably see that again in future games. This year, you need to appreciate what the robots are doing for themselves rather than against their opponents. Yes, some matches with robots of lesser abilities can be less exciting - but that happens every year. Simbotics, Poofs or Wildstang don't play in every match in every event. But when you get those good matches with those good teams in them, it's every bit as exciting as other years. I'm really looking forward to seeing some exciting things at MSC.
