I think that all of the opinions expressed below are learned within each team before the robot is shipped to the competition. I don't think we need the game to do the same thing.

: In my opinion (which I ain't saying is right or wrong), I believe this year's competition was developed in hopes of teaching a diverse group of teams to work as one combined team in order to accomplish the goal of achieving maximum points. Some of ya'll might be saying , DUH!, but I will elaborate on this. For example, in the work force, people have to combine their skills and techniques in order to successfully complete a job at hand. If one of the members is not capable of completing his/her end of the bargain, serious consequences could arise. By working as a team and helping each other out, the possibilities of success are endless. But if something does happen and things start to fall apart, one must not condemn or point a finger at anyone. I bring this up because I see some postings that wish that Dean would have developed a game of offense and defense. And I admit, their is competition in this world among companies that sell the same products. But I believe FIRST also wants to exhibit teamwork in the work place, therefore bringing about a change in the game this year. I restate that this is only my opinion. Tell me what ya'll think was the reason behind this year's game.
