BaneBots transmissions. Mandatory shipping of batteries and controller boards, whether you were five minutes or five hours from your event. Lots of robots with nothing to do for three-quarters of the match--which means copious amounts of unenlightened pushing. (I'm not saying it's bad--we were one of those teams that year for the
entire match--but it's not necessarily the most exciting thing to watch.) Tubes stuck on flagpoles. A slew of Q&As causing angst, relative to more recent years. (Naturally, I can't find the Interesting Q&As thread from that year at the moment.)
