Re: How do you guys feel about this year's competition
The game itself will be difficult for some new teams to understand. However, the robots for this year will be relatively simple for young teams to build, there have been many years worth of examples on how to shoot balls and climb things. It should be relatively easy for some newer teams to accomplish the basic goals of the game. Even a good amount of the defenses can be somewhat easily traversed with some simple trial and error of how to get over them.
I think this will be somewhat like 2013, where young teams had a chance to contribute well with shooting frisbees, but they were unable to do some of the more complex portions of that game, such as climbing the tower or consistently scoring in the more difficult goals.
