why I don't like this year's game

[maclaren]

I could not agree with copperhead more.

A "passing bump" give me a break! We should reuqire the drivers to wear monicals and tap one another on the should and say,
Driver1- Pardon me chap but may I pass by you?
Driver2 - No pardon me, I will certainly clear a path for you, just one moment please.
Driver1 - Certainly, no hurry.
(not trying to make fun of british people but using a 1800's era gentlemanly conversation to ilustrate my point)

Since when is a race a game? FRC is not supposed to be nascar it's supposed to a real game with a field not a track! (not dissing nascar or racing but this is not what FIRST robotics games should be in my opinion)

this is supposed to be an offensive game. Last year was very, very low scoring, in my opinion.

Yes many of the matches last year were very low scoring because there was a lot of defense played and many teams were not effective at scoring against the defense.

But in order to have an exciting game in my opinion you need that struggle between the defence and the offence. One team trying desperately to score and another trying euqally to stop them from scoring or to score more than them.

Don't get me wrong we will make one kick butt robot.

Anyway that is my two cents.
