I give the game two thumbs up.
I liked the integration of previous games and thought that there were enough changes to prevent veterans from having too much of an advantage. One comparison that I haven't heard is that in the 1992 competition (the very first competition) teams had to grab tennis balls off of wooden pegs, much like we neet to take the 10pt. balls off of the tees.

I see MUCH less interaction between opposing robots. Can anybody tell me, since I can't seem to easily find it, do the starting position of the blue robots start on the red side, like last year, or do the blue robots start in the blue side, the red in the red??

My interpretation is that the red alliance starts in front of the red player stations. I agree that this means less interaction between the alliances, and I like this. Over the past years the competitions have been getting rougher. I think that this was FIRST's way of keeping the competition from becoming Battlebots.
As far as manipulating the goals, I think that taking the ball off of your mobile goal and being able to pull it closer to your human players will help in scoring more balls than if your human players just shot at the stationary goal.
