Re: Thoughts on This Year's Game

I was initially stupified by the game this year. It required a little out the world thinking. You could reference aspects of games and old robots but you couldn't clone a robot. Nor have I see an Ultra Robot. So when the Eliminations started at Virginia, I was eager to see how it would go. The action was constant with a few but not a great number of penalties. The Quarters were good warm up with the Semis and Finals being the best I've seen, minus 2005 Newton Division Quarterfinals 3-2.

If you had to name this year, I'd call this year the year of choices. You had to select what you were going to do and build your robot to do it. Did you give up on a 3rd level climber or did go that route with a dumper/shooter and drop the pick up mechanism? If you did go for the top, did you go up the corner or up the side like a gymnast? Do you copy Robot in 3 days or learn from them and build an original machine? Full court shooter that can be neutered by a well installed pool noodle?

Top 4 years/games I had a hand in:
2013
2004
2012/2006 ('12 was the proper evolution of '06)
2005
