Recycle Rush Farewell

[Ichlieberoboter]

Now, that the season is fully over, it's time to say goodbye to Recycle Rush. I'll admit, it wasn't as luxurious as some years, but it got pretty exciting at CMP with canburglars and stack toppling. How do you feel about one of the most controversial games since 2009?

Good riddance.

Well, I wouldn't say farewell until December. The offseason starts now.

True, I suppose.

Apparently I am backwards because my favorite game of all time was Lunacy and Really like this game.

But the offseason has rule changes. And we didn't get to play Recycle Rumble during the official season.

Definitely not my favorite game, but it did get more interesting as the weeks progressed. I hope we will never have to see a 3v0 game again. And hopefully not have to deal with matches being decided in the first half second ever again as well.

Here's to fixing old games (2003/2015)
Now can we PLEASE have a repeat of logomotion! (2011)

Some would argue that logomotion was a re-hashing (to some extent) of 2007. I personally would love to see a manipulation-style game (as opposed to a shooter game) with a relatively new game piece. In the past 9 years we have had to manipulate balls (2008-2010, 2012, 2014), tubes (2007, 2011), frisbees (2013), and boxes (2015).

Anyone up for more tetras?

I'll take tetras, or a water game.

This game has been weird. I liked aspects of it, such as the creative options that were opened (and sometimes pursued) by the removal of size limits, or, the lack of stress imposed on the referees. But there were lots of things I didn't love at all. It's lousy knowing that, if a great team fails on the field, it is because they (or worse, their alliance partner) made an error. Beating yourself or your partners feels way worse than being beaten by an opponent. Repetitive, efficient movement also feels very businesslike, and not very sport-like. Watching high level matches felt like a combination of watching a curling match, and watching a lumberyard crew at work.

0/10 Literally trash. Worst game for me since I started in FRC.

[Oblarg]

Very few redeeming qualities. They had been doing so well ever since Lunacy, too.

Now, don't get me wrong - a lousy FRC game still makes for a really great program that's worth participating in. But this game simply was not very good, no matter how I look at it.

The relationship between me and the totes have been a rollercoaster. We both knew that it just wasn't going to work out. To be honest, I am glad it's over. We may never cross paths again. I think it would be easier for me that way.

Here's to another game with projectiles.
