It was pure hell to watch as a spectator without prior knowledge of the game.

And the elims were for the most part already decided as soon as the match pairings were released.

robot-robot interaction is WAY more exciting.
Yeah, I guess the fact that I was a 11 year old kid kid who couldn't even get his lego robot to compete had a lot to do with my perception of the competition.

I am looking forward to a drivetrain intensive year. It seemed as though this year, because of the field, there were the teams, then the teams with the holonomic drives. They were cool, but it wasn't real diverse.
