I remember watching that in person. I have NEVER heard an audience cheer louder.

I love how 254's only weakness that year was that it was kind of hard to inbound into their robot, but they make up for it by having the best human player I've ever seen

Agreed. I'd rank Stronghold as solidly #1, with Ultimate Ascent in second Place and Rebound Rumble in 3rd.

#2 - 2010;Breakaway: I was spared the end of season shenanigans involving scoring on yourself, and I loved the pure simplicity of the game from a rules/non-initiated viewer's perspective.

#1 - Rebound Rumble: My favorite game, partially because it's one of the best bots my current team has ever built. Another in the "simple to watch" category, it fit well in that space, and thrived on it. High level play was awesome to watch.

Also my 9th season (4 as student, 5 as mentor). Before Stronghold, these were my top three, but in a different order. I'd put Aerial Assist first, Rebound Rumble second, and Breakaway third. For me, though, 2016 moves up to #1 so far. And I'd add Overdrive to the list too.

Now for least favorite games? starting with least favorite, Lunacy, Recycle Rush, Logomotion, Ultimate Ascent, in that order.
