Re: This is a brutal game.
Last year was absolutely horrible with penalites. Almost every match there would be some penalty or disqualification. If one robot was called for it, another had to be called. An endless chain of dq's and penalties would start from one questionable call. You also last year have to consider the height of robots compared to this year.....so....
This year robots (in theory) should be a lot less top heavy. There are robots out there pushing, hitting hard, i wont use ramming because that IMO implies malicious intent...I think FIRST adressed the penalty problem from last year perfectly, which is basically to let some stuff go. I love how this game is looking because its exciting, when you see one team relentlessly nailing 3 pointers, chances are theyre going to win, because they deserve to. Penalties, are def having less of an impact.
