The games are getting more and more intuitive to the general public. When people ask us what does your robot do, we can finally answer in a coherent sentence, "it shoots balls into a hoop," instead of "well it climbs on top of this platform and then attaches to a bar and hangs from it."

I totally agree with what you said Shu, this game is going to be very intense for the programmers  . I am glad that it is easy to explain and is something people can understand/relate to (just explaining what a "tetra" is was hard enough).
I like this game a lot more than last years game (so far) and I hope it will stay that way. We have some great new mentors and some great returning ones so it is looking to be a great year!
