Go to Post In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]

Re: Why does everyone hate this game so much?

This game is fun to play. Watching it is pretty boring if you don't a lot about the game. Also, if there aren't good teams playing a match, I could fall asleep. If good teams are playing (like Waterloo Regional elims), it's edge of your seat excitement.

I would agree with the statement that fouls decide matches. Every event I have watched so far, fouls TOTALLY swing matches.

I also don't like how much you have to rely on your alliance partners to win. I get FIRST's love of working together but if one robot loses comm. or breaks, the match is basically over. This happened in Finals match 2 at Waterloo. Don't get me wrong. I do like the coopertition idea.
