Re: Is Stronghold the roughest game yet?

RR taught new students that FRC robots could be lightly built and survive, which is one of the longer lasting shames about that game.
And bumpers. There were basically 3 years worth of students on teams who had never had to build a robust bumper. (Let alone compliant with the rules...)
