I'm definitely in the majority for this; Recycle Rush was a bust. It was certainly an engineering challenge, which I appreciated, but it was not a spectator sport. My team attended nine competitions this year (including offseason), and as a scouting captain, I easily watched over a thousand matches. Other than MSC (2 fields and 102 teams made things quite interesting) and IRI, competitions were boring to watch. We had so much trouble getting the team to scout because no one wants to sit in the stands and watch robots sit in a corner, moving an elevator up and down.
I understand that there were issues with sponsorship which led to Recycle Rush being put together in a matter of months, but it was lacking one of the most important parts of FRC, an engaging competition atmosphere.
As anyone on my team can testify, I was literally dancing through the halls when we were eliminated at our final competition of 2015. I was just happy that the game was over.
