Re: Fun Game...

I will admit this year i under estimated the challenge and the excitement of this game, in the begining

My Story:

First day, after watching the kick-off. I adresses my team :" This year's game is simple, there is one thing to do; stack those tetras on the goals. There is only one goal!". Third day talking with my Mentors and team i realised that this game held an immense need for strategy and driver skill. And that is when we started thinking about strategy and designed our robot accordingly. However, even the day we found out that we can easily cap higher than 8 on the Center goal; i never beleived that the game will be as fun as "First Frenzy" or "Stack Attack". I watched the first regional's webcast with some members of my team. That thursday i was very disappointed, the whole event lacked excitement. On the friday the game showed glimpses of excitement. However, it was not untill the saturday that we all decided that this was for sure one of the best games FIRST has ever designed. With each passing regional my excitement to compete at the GTA regional is increasing. I Love this year's game and my team does too!
