Agreed! The time spent to create a suspension wasn't even worth the points.
I would agree that the harsh intake rules and bumps made basic robots useless in some matches. We have had tons of matches at events when you would look at the teams with you and wonder, "what can they do?" Front striker was an okay idea, but some teams couldn't even herd into the goal. Defense was another option, but what if they can't move zones and they have to start far with no autonomous? 2008-2009 were really easy for all robots as driving laps or defense was something every robot to do. This year was harsh on teams that had no offense and no zone changes.
