Lots to like

Lots to like (imho)
  • Easily the most causal viewer friendly game we've had in years (perhaps ever).
  • Can explain the game to Grandma in 10 seconds
  • Favors scoring
  • No descoring
  • 2 places to score and only 1 robot to defend
  • No messing if they tip over
  • No messing with robots when trying to elevate or suspend
  • should be many exciting finishes
Of course, there are things that I am less happy about (may degrade into a penalty fest if teams are stupid) but nothing I can see that is a deal breaker.

I suspect that by the end of the season it will be considered one of the best games FIRST has had in the 1st 20 years.
