Although your opinion is probably not the majority, you made some interesting points. Although I was initially unsure about the "themed" game, in the end, I think it made the game more approachable, because everyone has heard the stories about knights and castles. I also feel as if this theme did nothing to take away or distract from the competitive nature of the competition, because in the end, we know that the best robots aren't judged on embracing the theme, they are judged on how they are made, and how they perform.

I'm not really sure what you mean about it being like a game from the app store, but as far as "the theme will only attract kids not already in FIRST", I think that is the whole point of the theme! If the theme has attracted more kids from "outside the tent" it has succeeded!

I am not really sure that the field was cheesy, but IMO, the scoring displays were pretty nice.

While I appreciate the sharing of opinions, keep an open mind about stronghold.
