I liked some things about this game, and some that didn't.
I liked how much strategy was involved in this game, more so than previous years.
I liked how you could NOT win easily with just one good robot, and two mediocre robots. It is quite a change, where last year one super efficent, fast, effective robot destroyed the competition.
I liked how a rookie team made it to Einstein.
I didn't like how limiting this game was programming wise and design wise. All the robots did the same thing in Autonomous, and all the robots were fridges on wheels. As a programmer, I was hoping for a really big programming challenge with the new control system.
I didn't like that you played all weekend on a worn down field, and you got to Einstein's pristine, perfect surface. The very first matches were pretty sloppy, and got marginally better throughout the finals.
I didn't like that Mark Leon made all of Archimedes lose the game
...
Oh crap, I lost.
