2000, hands down.
Almost every single match was exciting, simply because a major aspect of scoring involved cramming 4 robots onto a small platform at the end of the match. The defensive maneuvers were varied and interesting as well.
Those that enjoyed 1v1v1 must not be remembering it well.
I was on team #13 in 1998, the BioBeast. We had a fairly strong machine, I guess we were strong enough to get noticed. We were involved with quite a few matches where our 2 opponents conspired against us. It wasn't just us either, that's for sure. In the tournament at Nationals, I believe every one of the top 10 seeds was sent to the losers bracket by round 2. The finals were between two teams seeded in the 50's. It was sad to see the Bomb Squad and Motorola not end up there. Their machines were fantastic. It was enough of an issue that it was the last year of 1v1v1.
