Alright I'll bite here. I completely disagree.
Maybe it was the event you were at, but compared to last year, robots were wildly diverse. There were many many variation of cappers and stackers with different lifting mechanisms, drivetrains, and can grabbers. There were factory bots which were pretty amazing to watch. There were robots that cam in two and three different parts. Sure there were some robots that looked similar. There always are, but in my 4 years of frc this one in my opinion has seen by far the most varied designs, and I loved it.
And if by screwing over rookie and inexperienced teams you mean forcing them to build something more than just a box on wheels, I'm not really opposed to that. Minimum participation this year meant getting boxes from one place to another.
Don't get me wrong I had my own problems with Recycle Rush. I do not consider it to be a very good game, but for different reasons. Still it had it's moments when it shined.
