I witnessed both. Lunacy had its flaws, but it was also a lot of fun to design for and if you didn't have a traffic jam the matches were rather fun to watch.

This game? IRI eliminations were fun to watch, but only because the robots were capable of stacking so many more of the extra totes they set out that it became a legitimate challenge to fit them and get around them. 842's tape measure canburglar at Championship was fun too, as were the cheesecaked ones of 1923 and 900. That's a highlight reel that can almost fit into a Vine.

I wasn't around for Diabolical Dynamics, but I can understand why the old-timers had such a strong dislike of it. But much like Lunacy, there was at least some variety to those robots and a few roles to play.

Several other games on that list also had fatal flaws (Breakaway, Rack 'N Roll, Triple Play), but none were quite the grind that this past season was. So yeah, I voted Recycle Rush.
