- A team can get selected because of their reputation to build amazing robots in the past. (Someone from 16 or 1625, please explain to me why you selected us [648]? I'm grateful that you did, but it's perplexing.)
Any comments, concerns? Agree or disagree so far?
I hope that something is done to make this game more exciting, as right now I believe it's the worst yet. Can't wait for IRI and their rule changes.
Also, this was a very bad game to introduce new spectators into, too much going on in any given area.
BTW - Congrats to all of the participants of the Midwest Regional, it was stellar event yet again. And too all of those that dared enough to compete in first week regionals. |
I see where your coming from and I agree and disagree on the first point. I agree because this game isnt AIM HIGH which was my favorite game ever. At the same time it is pretty intense in its own way. I watched as much as i could of midwest and NJ while in class , but i noticed the game to me only came alive at the finals , but when it came alive , it was very intense.
As for the second point , yeah its a bummer when you win or loos not based on points , but who got penalised the least. At championship last year we (540 ) beat a team that had one champs one year , then we lost because of a penalty from out alliance partner , not how we scored.
