Cool Re: So what does think of the new game?

Overall this year's game is going to be a very different from previous years. Because you can pretty much put most designs into 2 different categories, defence and tetra capper (I don't think many teams will be just ferrying Tetras), the variety in designs will certainly be quite a bit smaller. Many of the robots will begin to look a like after a while. But then again, the strategy element is quite a bit more challenging. It shifts the main focus of the game from how you design the robot to how you play the game. It was very interesting making a map of the course and coming up with possible strategies for winning.

Overall, I think that this year's game will be a welcome challenge.

Now I wonder how this year will affect next year's game ...

Re: So what does think of the new game?

Does anyone think they can find a bonus tetra, pick it up, and place it on the center goal in 15 seconds?

Re: So what does think of the new game?

I must admit, I didn't entirely like the game when it was first unveiled due to the simplicity. However, its starting to grow on me thanks to the great strategy possibilities.

Re: So what does think of the new game?

I was thinking the same thing. Because in the time it takes you to find the tetra find the goal raise it up and put it on. I dont know how fast the cameras work yet but i was thinking 3-4 seconds to find the one tetra, 4 seconds to drive over and pick it up,3-4 seconds to find goal then a few to put it on top. im sure its possible or they wouldnt of put it in the game.(It might be like 1-2 seconds to find the tetras im not sure)
