Tote stacking was a fresh and challenging engineering challenge.

I actually enjoyed the canburglar arms race - both as an engineer and a season-long spectator. I wasn't such a big fan of the role they played in the game - too much of the game was decided in the opening fraction of a second.

Qualification Average seeding was an interesting departure, with pro's and con's. I hope to see it again from time to time, but not every year.

The lack of direct interaction between the opposing alliances allowed for some cool machine features. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but definitely not every year.

I really like having 8 divisions at Championship. I liked how the qualification rounds were completed by Friday evening so we knew the final rankings prior to our scouting meeting. I also liked having division playoffs in the morning and Einstein in the afternoon.
