Re: Game trends

To add to what Billfred said, many teams had traction control, allowing them to NOT spin out, no matter what they did.

Also, 2003 and 2004 had HDPE as the surface in places. Very rarely would a robot be going so fast by them that it would become airborne. Not so much as in 2006, when a ramp structure had diamond plate on the ramp and Lexan on the top.

(And some teams had unique ways of scoring quickly, those years.)
