This is one of my main complaints too. Obviously it's not a huge deal, but this game seems to have more of an FLL-style theme than past games. Now there's nothing wrong with FLL for its age group, but I would like to think FRC is a little more mature.

The shared resources is always a welcome competitive aspect to a game which should provide some great excitement as teams scramble and claw for the remaining balls as time runs down. The only other gripe I really have is the lack of a secondary goal that would require the use of a specialized manipulator. I've always enjoyed games that allow for big, diverse manipulators, which is why I ended up loving last year's game despite my initial wariness. I'm sure Lunacy will grow on me in the coming time, especially as I start to see pre-ship robot videos surface on youtube.
