I was quite disappointed with how the game played out. Any sort of drivetrain whatsoever (even just 2 CIMS) would have been just fine. At least in qualifying rounds nobody even came close to touching anybody. There was no contact whatsoever. You would think that on the same size field but 50% more teams than last year there would be some CONTACT but there was none. At the start of the build, we thought opponents would even double-team us but boy were we wrong. We thought that since everyone had essentially been "given" a good relaiable four motor drive, that we needed something way above and beyond. unfortumnately, this was not the case. Opponents just ran away. No one engaged in any sort of pushing whatsoever. It is all the fault of the first week of regionals scaring the ____ out of drivers making them believe they were going to be penalized for any exciting action. We put hours upon hours into our HexaMax 6 motor with 2 speed drive system when it turned out that anything that moved was useful enough. 3vs3 on a pretty small field but no one banging into each other is not exciting for me.
