Lack of an endgame, lack of a challenging autonomous mode (guided by a remote control!) and the 80 inch diameter ineffectively enforced, bleh.
Not to mention the GDC killed a creative "game breaking" approach due to restrictions based on movement rules around the field, and gave a "I'll know it when I see it" response on the 1 robot only rule.
Overdrive had 2 game pieces per an alliance, an endgame, and actually made rookies decently competitive
