Just to address a few points from my point of view:

Sure, the early stages of the game became boring: driving over defenses, again and again. But, from what I saw, there was plenty of peril and heart-pounding moments: "Will they get to the batter?"
or "Can they finish off the CDF?" It's these moments that make the game good. And, as the game progressed into DCMPs and CMP, more and more robots were shooting, defending, etc.

Isn't every game after you've watched it over and over again?

I would tend to disagree. Sure, in qualifications there was not much defense, due to the extra RPs for what
you do (not what you stop your opponent from doing). But, when the alliances got really good, defense became a big factor. I think it was 1405 on Einstein that had shut-down defense, leading them to finals. That was exciting to watch.
Anyway, these are my opinions.
There will always be a point in your FIRST experience when you realize you can get away with something that is against the rules. It is at that point when you have a choice to make about your own personal ethics, and what sort of example you will set for your students. - ToddF [more]
