Yes the games haven't been as strategy oriented as past games. But what I have noticed is that the games are so that making a super bot that can do everything is getting harder and harder. So you have to pick one or two aspects of the game. I mean in 07 you didn't see a majority of bots that could pick up the tubes effectively and had great ramps. Now some bots could, but not a tone. You gotta pick which parts of the game you think will score the most points and what is due able by your team. Some bots had great ramp or lifting systems and had less effective grabbers or the other way around. Then with Overdrive, some teams made a killer lap-bot, or a great hurdler. While some teams had an effective hybrid mod.

I hope that FIRST keeps the games where you have to pick which aspects you think will score the most points and which ones you think arn't as critical. I hope that the 09 game is the most exciting and challenging game yet.
