Go to Post The [FIRST Robotics] competition is a friendly / gentleman's sort of sport... It is only a forum to put our machines to the test, and see how well we did against what WE set out to do -- not to see which team can build the best robot. - KenWittlief [more]

This is good news if the games are really exciting.

I am looking forward to the Great Lakes Regional so I can judge for myself.

Any other opinions on the excitement/watchability of this year's game?

Your thoughts welcome.

I thought I saw that Fran was from Merrimack, and I live across the river from Merrimack in Litchfield, NH (same state Rep. District this year)....and the name Fran Leach is familiar to me for some reason.....and you know what, I believe that Fran said too....because I was there at the Verizon center myself!

The game sure is aggressive.....even the practice round was rough and tumble. (more than normal)

It was great to look under the ramp every day....it was littered with bolts, wires, and all sort of varied parts and pieces that had been ripped off of robots tryng to make that difficult climb to the top.

I saw so any bots with dangling pnumatics....ripped up motors and plow parts dragging on the floor.

Out own bot had more broken lexan than I have ever seen in my life! (as an electrical guy, I used to marvel at the toughness of that stuff...not any more!)

The only thing that suprised me was the lack of robot stacking going on. It seemed that about 25-30% of the roots were designed to stack....yet very few even tried it.

Yea, and the cheering was loud and constant the whole day.....maybe we in NH are just starved for good robotics competition after a long hard winter of snow....and while that might actually be true, this is a great game!

I look forward to seeing you all at the nationals!
