I just saw something that JVN posted on the
VexForum about the '06-'07 FVC Game. I thought it was pretty cool so here it is,

Some have criticized the scoring as being a copy of last years. This is just silly. The game was designed, then scoring weights were assigned based on the difficulty of the task, in order to create as balanced a game as possible. This ended up to be a 3:1 ratio between high goals and low goals. With the Atlas ball being worth a double point value.
Others have said this game doesn't have enough creativity. Are you crazy?! I guess a giant ball that is twice the size of the robots, and a spinning platform aren't original enough?
I'm a huge fan of balanced, simple games with simple elements of scoring. I hate a game with a gimmicky innovation simply for the sake of innovating.
Yep, I'm sure the FVC game could have taken place in a pool, with inflatable cubes as game objects. (It's definitely never been done before.) Would it have added anything to the FIRST experience? Probably not.
