Good
1. bumpers- If any team was going to rip the bumpers to hell and beyond it was going to be us. I think the bumpers where the best thing first did this year. It lets the robots take much less abuse.
2. Permanent scoring- I liked the fact that once you scored that was it. Although in the 2000 game descoring was pretty cool.
3. 2 robots on defence- This was another huge thing first did. It gave any team the chance to to score because at least one robot could help defend the shooter. If all 3 robots were allowed to play defence this game would be boring
Bad
1. scoring system- The concept of a computer scoring it a great idea but I think the system was not up to par. I do not think first should give up on this but improve the scoring system computing power. If done right it will make first a much more fun game to watch.
2. Atlanta- I have talked to people in the know and i know what happened with us going to Atlanta next year but i really hope first goes back to Disney

must've been awesome having nationals at Epcot, wish I would have been there.
One huge positive this year for me was the camera as well as the lit target. I think this is a staple that should always be included in the FIRST games. The ability to know where the target is in autonomous makes it a whole lot more interesting.
I also like the level of math needed for this year's competition. I had... well, am having
, a great time writing code for the challenge this year. Mostly because of the camera in autonomous and the complicated bits of shooting a ball accurately.
One negative to this years competition is the drainage rate of the center goal. On several occasions alliances we have played with overloaded the goal, causing a good number of balls to simply fall (not bounce) out.
All in all, I think this year's game is great.
