Re: So what do you think of the new game?

Before everybody gets all worked up over the "one-dimensional ism" of this years game, think of what happened last year after kickoff. Everybody hated the fact robots couldn't score and everybody was worried that FIRST would be taken over by basketball stars. Look at the end result. Last year FIRST created a very exciting game that in the end, kept many of us very entertained.

Also- I think this game is only narrow minded aspect: robustness. Other then that there are many different bot types that this game can create. Give it some time. Work on your design. I promise you that at your regional every bot will be different in some way.


~Andrew (Who can remember back to his rookie year in 2000 where the only way to score was to put balls in a trough or hang... And then a little known team came along who could hang and transfer balls from one side to the other...)
