Go to Post Nonetheless, I would welcome it, as long as [The President] didn't restrict the number of discs that a Robot could hold. Oops, wait, too late, the GDC already did that. :-) - MooreteP [more]

Re: Do you LIKE the game this year?

I love this year's game. I wasn't around for Aim High, but this game sounds to me just as good. I also liked 2010's Breakaway, for similar reasons:
  • Easy for spectators to understand and follow real-time
  • Good level of challenge
  • Good Autonomous game
  • Good End-game bonus
  • Not heavy on defense
  • No Mini-bot, and especially no Tetrix parts.

I hated the parts limitation of the mini-bot last year. It was antithetical to FIRST engineering. In particular, the Tetrix motor was poorly designed and not robust at all.

The GDC deserves a big round of applause for Rebound Rumble. Our team is really enjoying it and digging into the challenge.
