FIRST did an excelent job with overdrive. They delivered a fast paced game that gave everyteam a chance to shine. The highschoring task during teleopp was a task which gave every team a reasonable task to engineer for. As much as i loved aimhigh, getting that camera to work right, and actualy shoot balls efficiantly was tough. It seemed professionaly engineered robots dominated the field doubly. Rack nd roll also seemed biased to super robots. While one "lesser bot" could spoil a big line, thos "promade" bots just wrecked house.

This year robots came in many forms, and i think the comparitive level of super bots this year was much lower, and closer to the average student engineered and built bot. The penalties i believe added a strong aspect to the game because even if you were overpowered in a match the skill of the driver came into play, and often decided matches. Im glad FIRST penalized bots interfereing with hurtles. A hurtle is a beautiful thing. The true grace of what was engineered was allowed to shine.

just.. get ready for the 2009 game.
