The time in between was utterly boring. I didn't find the robots throwing/shooting balls at all exciting. It was a rather easy game to build a robot for, the real challenge that year was to build your robot well enough to get up the ramp. Plus the robots pretty much all looked/did the same thing and that doesn't make for an exciting game to me.
So as you can tell from my post i have been voting off 2006 since 2003 got voted off.

I beg to differ. Autonomous was the most lively it'd been since 2003, with a strategy that evolved all the way up to Einstein. Teams had to be able to dish out offense and defense; let a team like 254 or 71 get up on the ramp, and the resulting clogged goal made it easy to see that they were doing particularly well. And while many of the robots did the same thing, it was their ability to
execute that made the difference.
That said, I agree; can we just skip to the inevitable Aim High vs. FIRST Frenzy finale?
