Re: Next Year's Game?
Echoing a whole bunch of other people:
1. Not getting penalized for being good! (Is your boss going to punish you for blowing away the competition and making the company a lot of money?)
2. A game where the robot is more important than the human player (isn't this the FIRST Robotics Competition?)
3. A game where we can unfold again! (I understand why they did it this year, but the games were a lot better when we could unfold.)
4. A game where autonomous and the end mode matter more. (This year, autonomous and the end mode amounted to "let's run away so we don't get score on more").
Definitely seemed like this year's game was meant to even the odds between rookie and veteran teams.

Although the drivers, coaches, and human players are responsible for how the team does on the field, let us not forget the people who don't usually get credit for how the team does: the pit crews who keep the robots running smoothly, the programmers who (although may often get yelled at) hold the keys to the robots' performance, and the cheering sections in the stands who hold up big, morale boosting signs that make the field teams want to go out there and win one (or twelve) for the team.
