Re: Thoughts on driving in FIRST Stronghold

This was my first (and unfortunately last) year as a driver. When Stronghold was first revealed, I knew that with a lot of the top tier robots, it would come down to driver skill to determine which was really the best. Even with the pressure to perform well, I had an absolute blast driving this year.

The hardest part of driving in Stronghold was definitely the vision issue. (Defense is a close second. Darn you 4607, your defense in Carver was insane) Personally, I never had a problem with the portcullis, but the drawbridge and sally port were annoying, especially when there was a hidden boulder that you either ended up driving over or weren't aware of to collect.Granted, these problems could have easily been fixed by some smart thinking from the team, either during build or afterwards.

Stronghold was a wonderful game to drive in, and I wouldn't wish for any other.
