Hi all,
This year is alot different from the year of Torroid Terror. I think that the goal of this competition is one of positioning. And I don't think that its gonna be possible to achieve that without some robots falling. Now don't get me wrong, i saw what happened to TJ at Rumble and I was part of the team that Tom was on when we got tipped during the semi-finals, since then i have always strongly been against tipping mechs. However this game is gonna be a rough one, its a fight to the top of that puck, and you will see robots tumbling and breaking. I think that FIRST knew this when they came up with the competition, and felt that it would make the competition exiting while making it easier. I feel that it will make the competiton exiting and is a good thing. Remember unlike in Torroid Terror, there is no central goal, the only goal on the field, is the robots. Just outa curiosity, how do you people compare the tipping mechs of torroid terror, to the puck tipping mechs of this year? Do they serve the same purpose, or is it all just part of the game?
Good Luck to all,
Andy Grady, DWC/Alvirne
