: I'll agree that the game was a little hard to explain(I had a drawing of the field that I used whenever I tried explaining it)...but one thing that I found was no matter how confused they were when I was explaining it to them, once they actually saw the game played, they could understand it...

I found that people generally understood what the robots wanted to do (i.e. small ball good, large ball better, one goal balanced even better, two goals balanced best of all, fast time good, robot not being able to get over ramp bad, robot falling over backwards with no way to right itself even worse, etc.)
However, the scoring was difficult to explain because of all of the multipliers. Also, they seemed confused when they realized that all of the robots were on the same team.
