I REALLY Like this game. I haven't read the rules yet (not with a team, so I'm going to let the traffic on the FIRST site die down and then get the unencrypted manual), but here's what I like:
- fewer contact restrictions
- a new game surface
- many of the defensive strategies are now out the window
- there is an extra challenge of attaching something to your robot for the entire game
- Strategy is key. Your opponents aren't about to sit there and let you score, are they?
That, and the odd scoring object (yeah, it's a ball. But it's an odd ball.)
This is going to be a great year.
