Sorry, but I will have to disagree with you on this one. As anyone on my team knows, I am not a big fan of this year's game but the complexity of scoring resulted in a great deal of interest by our students and parents. Not a meeting went by where I didn't have someone come up to me with a new analysis or strategy that we could use to win. This year's game excited much more interest in the strategy than last year's and I am for anything that gets our students motivated.
I couldn't care less whether it is TV friendly, the news shows are only going to show 30 seconds anyway. And as anyone who has seen Robotica knows, that is one of the most boring shows on TV, it gives robot competitions a bad name. Give me Junkyard Wars anytime.

If you want to change something, bring back the head-to-head competition.

Just my opinion,
Joe
