I get upset when teams build fantastic scoring robots and lose to inferior robots built only for defense.
Hopefully the FRC GDC finds a good balance and rewards teams for building great robots !

Yeah, but we all have to remember - Dean Kamen's challenge (as usual) is to grow FIRST. 2013 and 2014 were much more fun to just watch, frisbees and balls flying everywhere and robots having to come up with complicated strategies, pushing wars, and robots smashing into each other. Spectators and potential future participants would have been much more intrigued and willing to join if it were as fun to watch as the last two years. Defense makes for a fun game.
