Re: PUSH to Simplify the Game for 2002 ***Attention FIRST **
Posted by Matt Leese at 04/19/2001 2:05 PM EST
College Student on team #73, Tigerbolt, from Edison Technical HS and Alstom & Fiber Technologies & RIT. In Reply to: PUSH to Simplify the Game for 2002 ***Attention FIRST *** Posted by Andy Baker on 04/19/2001 11:31 AM EST: I agree with you completely. I think the impact of a simplified game would not only be for the media however. 73 had not been in competition since 1998 and after the game was released, a comment made by one of the teachers who had previously participated (from '93-'98) said that the game was just to complex. I also was told that one of our students made the comment that the SME Robotics Competition was more interesting than FIRST. The game this year had some neat ideas (balancing the bridge was one of them), but it tried to do too much. I highly doubt that we'll see simpler games with 4 robots to an alliance because if that were to happen there wouldn't be much for all the robots to do. It's also much harder to explain how you win without any onfield competition (it took my team until week 3 or 4 to understand). I think that more than anything this year will be a learning experience for FIRST about what works and what doesn't. Matt who hopes that FIRST learns the right things from this years competition.... |
