I think I could actually be the human player this time! Logomotion was a mess, and Rebound Rumble took moderate skill as a basketball player/thrower. But Frisbees...those are the people's projectiles! I expect human players to mean more this year.

Re: My reaction to the kick-off video

It's still going to be pretty hard to hammer over that barrier... But I'm excited. Definitely more of a challenge than throwing balls, but as an avid ultimate player FRC could not have presented a better game for my Senior year.

Re: My reaction to the kick-off video

I honestly thought it was a joke. Most people at our kickoff laughed when they heard "robots can climb up these." I was expecting a new animation to follow it.

It did definitely seem like they jumped right into the animation this year -- no false starts, no big allusions to what we've all been waiting for, just...BAM. Game. Go. Odd, but nice. I definitely was wondering if it was a teaser, because the animation didn't start like ones in previous years either. Looking to be a great game, though!

Re: My reaction to the kick-off video

My heart stopped for a moment when they flashed between the shots of the field at the beginning of the animation.
