FRC 2009 - Lunacy

I like the game personally.

It's finally leveled out the playing field from veterans to rookies for the most part. And also it's leveled out the economics aswell. By changing the surface on which we play and the wheels that we're allowed to use First has essentially forced many of us teams to rethink our drive trains. Most teams have a "traditional" drive train they like to work with but now most conventional drive systems made for carpet would be too fast, illegal, or too powerful for the Game's playing surface.

I think that this will also be a Driver's game. A good driver/operator combo will be essential and both positions (Driver more so than Operator) will require a substantial amount of skill.

The only issue I have with the game is that autonomous does not seem to be straight forward nor is it really mentioned in the rule book. The way I understand it is that the scoring's still the same.

In all I like it though, It should be a fun game to play.
