Best 4 Year Game Career?

[Nemo]

If we were talking about a 3 year career, it would be tough to top 2012-2014. If I'm tacking on an extra year to make it 4 years, Logomotion is an easy choice over Recycle Rush.

I'd have to agree as those were my years. Really though, even though I didn't pay attention to 2011 & 2012, I'd say 2011-2014 has been the best group. Now I'm sure there are some 90's games that were really good that I just don't know much about.

Agreed

1) 04-07 and 11-14 tied

Hard to compare games that far apart, as FRC really evolved during that time.

2) 05-08 and 10-13 tied

Argument could be made for these.

TL,DR: 03, 09, 15 aren't that popular....

For my team if was by far 2006 to 2009.

Best:
2005-2008
2011-2014

Worst:
2001-2004

I'll take '03-'07-- oh, wait, that's my years. I actually think '08 was better than '03, so '04-'08. ('03 brings back memories of the STACKS of boxes waiting to get their lids pop-riveted on and stickers applied....)

I don't know, 2016-2018 will have to be pretty good to make up for last year...

on a positive note, I feel like 2011-2014 were the best years.

To me, it seems like 2011 - 2014 was the Golden Age.

I think you're missing the point. Going through Recycle Rush makes all subsequent games a million times better in comparison.

This implies that you think 2019 will be worse than 2015.

2017 and beyond will have twice as many Championships, so they'll be twice as good...

So, I have a question about this for everyone. Do you think the best era of FIRST has passed, is passing, or has already passed? Or is it too hard to tell right now. With the creation of two championships a lot of people have been extremely upset about the new change to an extent that seems could be lasting.

I hope I'm wrong, but if current trends continue the best era has already happened.
