Re: Favorite FIRST Game

alright, i so voted for hexagon havoc....the games were much simpler then, but i have to admit that was a really fun game to play, 2 size balls, 1 central goal, and the bigger ball was the max dimensions of the robot.

it was the first year for a human player

there were no rules about pinning (i think our team pinnning another for 1:30 might have been the reason for the 10 second pinning rule announced in 1997)

there was also intentional flipping...there were robots with forklifts on the front that would drive up to you and tip you over.

also it was 1vs1vs1. no alliances, to make it to the finals meant you needed an amazing robot. i like alliances, but i also somewhat miss seeing robots that were made to play by themselves and not rely on another robot to help them.

plus you could flip over the goal and the "goal lines" still extended straight up in the orientation of the goal, we won the "best play of the day" at rumble at the rock by flipped the goal towards our human player and loading him up with balls, which all counted when the scoring was done, it was awesome!

second favorite FIRST frenzy, then torroid terror, then i dunnoo it's a tossup between aim high and triple play
