Was play this year too aggresive?

This year it looked a whole lot more physical than it actually was. Our team flipped a good many robots, but most of those that we flipped were ones that had large unprotected tires that ran right up our box. We even flipped a few in autonomous mode at Palmetto when we were completly stopped. I think that the physical aspect of it makes it better for those watching from the stands. Although this is my first (and last year as a student, i will be a mentor next year) I have seen matches from last year, our transmissions, plus the battle scars on last year's bot. In my opinion FIRST tryied to calm the game down a little this year and they did an awesome job. They kept it aggressive enough that it is interesting to those in the arena, but calm enough that you didnt have to build everything with armor plating.
