Disappointing Game

Of course not. The teams that build High Goal robots in 2013, aren't going to have a box on wheels, they'll be shooting over the truss and into the High Goal this year too. However, this year teams that have a box on wheels can actually feel like they're part of the game. They can score in auton simply by driving forward and shoving a ball into the low goal. I know if I was a rookie, I'd be far more inspired with my box on wheels this year then I would of been last year; and teams that have the capabilities are going to build amazing robots like they do every year. It's the best of both worlds.

If we toss out the issues that Week 1 venues faced this year, I'd say we have a great game on our hands, and an exciting one too.
