Re: Fun Game...

I was skeptical of the game at first. The only way I could describe it to people who hadn't watched the kick-off was "This game is like Tic-Tac-Toe Gone Wild!" Having been behind the drivers stand though... it's growing on me.

The outstretched simplicity of this game is part of what makes it so alluring though. The reason I say that is because of 2 separate things: ROBOT scoring and actual MATCH scoring. Although there's a limited amount of physical tasks to complete, referee scoring and penalties make it much more complex. As competitiveness increases and strategies change throughout the competition season, it gets more and more fun to watch and participate in.

I'm grateful for this years game. It's a refreshing twist. Overall, I give it an A-, due to the lack of robot diversity that was previously mentioned.

Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
