Re: What is missing from this years game?

I agree that this game is exciting. I think it's cool and a great challenge to score, and to see teams do it effortlessly, really impresses me. And, there was excitement at our regional...

But, I still think it has a lot to do with the fact that we (as FIRSTers) know the game well. And we know how amazingly hard it is to build and program a robot to find a vision tetra, let alone cap one in autonomous.

But, to the casual observer off the street and to younger kids we want to inspire, it seems repetitive and lacking of an exciting ending. One person even mentioned, "They just kept doing the same thing over and over again...just putting the triangle things on top".

Again, I am just relaying the comments I got.
