I have to agree with Joe....245 definitely has an awesome robot this year. I also agree with him that especially for our team, the game has totally changed, I think that it is now the way that FIRST intended the game to be played and is very exciting. I do believe that now, since my team is at a competition the game is a lot better than I thought it would be. However, I do think that this years game lacks something that the others do not. My team and I were talking about this and agreed that it lacks that "awing" move at the end of the game. Last year there was the fight for the pipe with 15 seconds left, 2003 had everyone fighting to get to the top of the ramp, 2002 didn't really have one, but 2001 had everyone trying to balance the ramp and hit the button as fast as they could. This game is just stack stack stack as fast as you can with a great strategy. I think this game is more about strategy rather than the certain elements of the game like last year, a good strategy can make or break your round this year and I like it.
