Re: Lunacy Review

I really disliked several things about Lunacy.

-G14. Need I say more. Please let this be only this year. I can understand the idea behind it, but it really doesn't seem logical to penalize people for doing well.

-The surface/wheels. Though it made sense to the theme, it still made the game annoyingly slow and created less variety among the bots. Overdrive had lots of variety, but this year was meh.

-If even one bot was pinned, you could stick a fork in your alliance, becasue your match is over. You lost. I watched all of the Newton division (except finals), the Curie finals, and Einstein, and it seemed that once a bot was pinned, their alliance probably lost.

-Too much human player involvement. I know this echoes pretty much every other post, but still...If a human player outscores a robot, then they have too much influence on the game.

I can't really find much good to say about Lunacy.

My personal preference of games since my beginning of FRC....
