Drop a trackball on your head, that'll make your brain hurt.

My initial reaction was being underwhelmed, to say the least. Then we got the ball out. Geez, we gotta pick up that thing?! I thought making the bot would be easy this year.

Maybe there's not as much strategy in point manipulation as there was in Rack n Roll or Triple Play. It's more like racking up points in Aim High. But there still will be strategy. The simple fact that your team of 3 only has 2 game pieces leads to all sorts of strategic decisions.

I'm willing to let things simmer a while to see what kind of soup we get in the end.
