Re: Lessons Learned - The Negative

I have been with FIRST since 2005, was a driver from 05-08 and a spectator this year. And i have to say I thought last years game was boring to watch, but this one was bad. As a driver this game is sweet, but as a spectator theres no real excitement. I mean sure when your bot is out there or your rooting for certian teams to win its a little more fun, but still theres no "wow" factor. Like in 06 and 07 there were ramps teams would climb in the last second, which made it exciting; 05 the line; 04 hanging on the bar. The Supercells were rarely scored and most of the time it was scored by the alliance that was winning anyways.

I would like to see a game where more than 3 designs would be present. maybe have 2 different shapes or sizes of element to manipulate.

Another thing, on Archimedes the DJ had like 10 songs he would play over and over again. They are good songs but they get old real quick.
