Re: BAE Granite State Regional

OK.....here's my gripes about BAE and the game after seeing it played for about 8 matches:
This game is NOT a spectator game
I could not keep track of who was on defense, who was on offense, penalties (although after each match were clearly stated by Benji), and just the overall gameplay was so fast that you blinked twice and the table had turned.
I was sitting in front of some parents and relatives of my 2 former teams, and and between the 20 of us talking amongst ourselves, we eventually kind of knew what was going on.

All in all, very confusing game to watch, but since I'm not driving, I'm going out on a limb and saying it's an easier game to drive.

As for what to expect....Chaos. I think at BAE I only witnessed 9 or 10 bots actually use thier shooter to their potential, meanwhile...all the other teams were focusing on the 1pt balls and DEFENSE. Some teams look fantastic; Kaizen Blitz has one of the most accurate shooters I saw all day, along with 296 from Canada...WOW is all I can say.

Accuracy, is just not there; I know its only friday, and tommorow could and should be a whole nother story, but robots who got out of trajectory were rapid firing balls INTO the stands probably 10-15 rows back. Defense is key in this game (as it usually is in every FIRST game), but I think the amount of defense being employed is really putting the good shooters out of the game. It's sad really, a team who focuses thier robot to shoot balls accuratly, can be beaten by a wooden box that has great traction. Again, it's not an appealing game to us, the spectators.

******THIS IS MY OWN OPIONION, I AM NOT ASSOSICATED WITH ANY TEAM, SO THAT GIVES ME THE RIGHT TO CONSTRUCTIVLEY CRITICIZES THIS.

Let me know what you all think too.
