Re: Anybody really dis-like the game?

I think i've come to a final conclusion about this game

I don't like it

FIRST has taken the side of the offense one too many times, for those of you who were around in 2004 and before, that was when real defense was played... defense wasn't tipping a trackball off the overpass at the last second or goigng to sit in a corner protecting your own goal. It was about getting up on a bar with a rotater so that you could deny anyone else who wanted to get on for that fifty point bonus, it was about being king of that hill in 2003

this game seems way to finesse,

I know people are going to say, your going to see pinning and ramming, but at what cost, the hits might shift the direction of the robot, and the robot thats getting pinned has the traction advantage. not to mention the robot thats doing the pinning is also a easy target to score on for the other team

FIRST has truly eliminated the word DEFENSE from its dictionary, thanks to this game and measures to reduce that word in games past. and in all honesty, i really think five years down the road, we might be talking about a big kids version of FLL.

...but then again, we have yet to see what teams can come up with, and how the game is played at the scrimmages or at week one events. when someone comes up with a truly inspiring design that actually works, thats when FIRST's true colours shine.

EDIT: please don'g get me started on G14... honestly, it could cost a alliance a game when they really can't afford to lose it
