Why does everyone hate this game so much?

[Woolly]

At this point I would have to say Aerial Assist is a pretty bad game at the regional level for the reasons that have already been stated in this thread.

However, I think it might get better at State Championships and Worlds. The most exciting matches of Aerial Assist I've seen are ones where the ref crew stands back only calls blatant rules violations. I understand this can't happen often at the regional and district levels because many bots can't handle that style of game play without falling apart. In divisional eliminations and above, hopefully the more passive style of refereeing will become more common.

Also, the FMS still has some issues, like once in a great while the whole field will lose connection. That could definitely put a damper on Einstein if it were to continue.
