Recycle rush sucks to watch and play when you are playing with higher level teams because the fun comes from falling tote stacks.

I don't know about anyone else but falling stacks weren't fun to watch this weekend they were painful. I know all the work that these teams put into getting their robots to work, when 118's stack fell in the playoffs at Dallas it wasn't enjoyable for me, it hurt. I am not really looking forward to a season of feeling bad when things go wrong. I love defense and I like cheering for the underdogs, however I'm not cheering for gravity and momentum this year.

Make a better stack. Not a gravity issue, a better stack issue or better driving issue.

Enjoyment is once again subject to the person. I shouldn't say falling stacks are what cause fun its when stacks are teetering precariously or they look like they are going to fall over. The suspense that comes from seeing something like a stack about to fall is fun, having it actually fall of course its not fun.
I personally don't really enjoy things going to plan as much as I enjoy being able to recover after a failure and perform well. Comebacks are fun to watch for me.
