Also, Can people elaborate on why Lunacy was so bad. The game looked to be a fun game but I'm sure many aspects of the game were frustrating. Thanks

I'm guessing you don't watch NASCAR...
Seriously, watch some 2008 match footage. It got pretty exciting. The 2008 Einstein rounds were considered some of the best FRC matches of all time.

I never personally experienced the 2009 game but from what I've heard the problems people had were:

1. The lack of maneuverability from the Regolith led to robot traffic jams where nothing was happening.

2. Human players were overpowered, as they could oftentimes score more than most robots.

3. (Less of an issue) Most teams could not test their robots on the regolith much before competitions since only a few square feet of regolith was given to each team, and it was hard to get a hold of especially with limited funding.

4. Any 2 v 3 match (one dead robot) basically was an automatic win for the 3 since they had a stationary robot to score in.

I'm sure many others can add to that list. I for one think Lunacy looks like it was almost a really fun game, but a few things went wrong and many people didn't like it. I like the idea of scoring in your opponents.

My "least good" games would easily be 2003 (the game was broken), 2001 (boring), and 2015 (almost equally boring). The others I tend to think optimistically about.
