I appreciate how it values all alliance partners. Everyone plays and everyone contributes to the match. It's a system that doesn't cause one partner to be undervalued or overvalued when really, it's the combination of the teams that leads to success.

The field elements are very simple this year and there is a lot of space to move around even with 6 robots. However, keeping track of all robots on the larger field does prove to be a daunting task for any coach. Or, to rephrase, it's harder to decide what to do if you didn't have a strategy before going into to the match, which makes that so much more important this year. The extra number of teams don't make for more strategies since it's pretty much offense, but it does make it more fun.
