Re: Anybdy like the game?

I like most of it. I have a few concerns, but overall I think it will prove to be quite interesting. I think <g14> needs some kind of a tweak to avoid the problem of a Red alliance penalty resulting in a Blue 2x score, and to do something about very low scores. A team that wins 6-2 should not have two Cells taken away next match. My biggest fear is whether it will be exciting to watch or not. I can envision it like watching cars on a slippery street attempting to get traction and spinning in place, punctuated only by crashes as one finally gets to move.

Re: Anybdy like the game?

I LOVE this game. My brother and I were talking the day before kickoff about what we think the game will be and I was voicing my concerns over cookie-cutter drive systems and things like that and this completely addressed that. I have always been a fan of movable goals and major human player participation which this game has. The amount of thinking and strategy that will be involved this year is great. Coaches will have to keep a track of scores very closely and last minute scoring will, in my opinion, will play an important part.

Re: Anybdy like the game?

i am a big fan of the game, It presents a different type of challenge then FIRST has ever presented before. They have never really challenged the drivetrain before they had always just made games of just finding a way to score or not be scored on, this one makes you have to learn to play on low friction and pull a trailer. I think most people are underestimating the trailer, anyone that doesnt build one at home will be in trouble when the reach the competition. As a farm boy i am waiting to see everyone try and drive with a trailer, i will be amused.
