Whats more exciting than watching two robots going at it in a aggressive pushing match go get posission for a spoiler with 30 seconds left in the match. in finals 1:3 of the nationals where both teams get a red card.

This rule will really rui some teams that are known for playing aggressive,

thats besides the point, anyways, i would pick the yellow card team because i know that they are willing to push people around, and that they CAN do it if need be.

Offence brings the crowds, but defense wins championships

it seems that FIRST is nibbleing off the defense aspect of the games lately. (ie: no wedges last year, and a card system this year. im not saying FIRST is doing anything wrong, im just saying that the game might not be as exciting to watch as it used to be in the final matches.)

There's a difference between being defensive and being overly aggressive, this isn't battlebots .
