Recycle Rush flopped primarily because it shared a key component with 2001: No defense. It shared another with 2003: Stacking is hard, knocking down is easy. Neither game is regarded as a particularly good one, for a variety of reasons; '01 is up (down?) near the top of lousy FRC games.
This. 2012 is on a lot of top-five lists for games, 2008 wasn't bad at all either.

Theming doesn't scare me, lousy games do. I can only hope FIRST has learned its lesson from this year.
