Re: Boring Game

I personally like this years game. There is a lot of action, seeing balls flying around the field. There is also a lot of strategy within the game. I don't mind this low-scoring system.
There are a few problems I see with it. Despite how necessary the penalties are, this game is chock-full of them, and they can completely wipe out your score. There were a hefty amount of 0-0 matches because of penalties. This game also limits the diversity of the robot. Every year, I look forward to seeing the different kinds of robots, and their different methods of scoring using various mechanisms. This year, the only diversity I see is the way to hook onto the tower, or another robot.

Other than that, I feel that this is an exceptional game.
