Want to know why? 4v0, NO defense at all, just 4 teams against the clock. And you thought Recycle Rush was bad after the canburgling. Imagine trying to coordinate 4 teams to finish a task in a certain time...and if you mess up, you lose a multiplier. Literally, finishing in 16 seconds with 5 more points could be worse than finishing in 15 seconds without those points (depending on what they were)--I forget the exact breakdown, but that's a possible scenario.


2015 had a technical challenge, and was OK but could have been better. 2009 had defense. 2003 had stuff breaking. For a lousy game, I'll put 2001 in a heartbeat.

Sorry youngins, but Eric takes the cake here. For those who were around and remember the awe of the 710 match, you also remember the feeling of hopelessness of the mastery of FRC71 completely having the game figured out and there was NOTHING you could do to stop them.

I just remember that each member of the alliance had to hit their E-Stop for the timer to stop and the Emcee just yelling "and STOP". The 710 matches were less than 60 seconds!

2015 is the worst game in the last decade but it was still way more exciting then what 2001 was.
