Wasn't it a bigger field than the past several years? No matter.

It wasn't a pushing year, for variable gear ratios. 2002 was a good year for fast robots, then switching to high torque.

This WAS a year for manuverablity. Pushing and racing didn't matter AS much. getting right where you wanted, however, was very important.

I LOVED this game. I LOVED the kitbot. Watching the finals (after we got elimiated) at Western Michigan, I realized that I was watching a complex, and very accuate, robot ballet as they danced around each other. I've never seen such amazing driving. WAY cooler that the jerky pounding and mashing of controls I've become used to. This was a drivers/controlers game in my opinion. Wonderful!
