Yeah...
This year does seem to be more agressive than last year. This, i think, is because of that battle-bot idea. FIRST is trying to spread it self which requires it to attract more people. They can attract more people through more conflict in the game.
Face it: And outsider doesn't want to watch a game unless there is some conflict. (Football = People running into each other like crazy) So, FIRST is trying to be two sides at once - Create a game where all teams win & a game with competition that attracts people.
Which one is better, well both and neither. I'd say that the game this year created a lot of new, good challenges for the teams. It also increased the rivalry between the teams.
I guess I really don't have a side on this. I want there to be a unity between the teams, but I also want to see first be spread.

One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. - ChrisH [more]
