Lovin' This Game

I love this game for a lot of reasons, but number one has to be that it's a game in which almost any team, regardless of skill level, can build a robot that can contribute effectively to an alliance. In almost any previous year, a box on wheels has been almost entirely useless except as cheesecake fodder, this year, that robot might be able to cross multiple defenses in auto and teleop and play effective defense. I love that.

Definitely better than the last two, both from a game standpoint and the engineering trade offs of low bar vs scale, with high ground clearance and boulder tossing added for good measure. While game strategy is always important, it was essential for Stronghold. Depending on how the meta plays out in later weeks and through Einstien, we may well find Stronghold to be one of the all-time favorite FRC games.

There's even a good possibility that each of the 32 robots on Einstein will play at least one match.

This game is great to watch unless your robot is in the match. Then it's a cringe-fest. Good luck this weekend, and may you find all of your parts on the field.
