Re: FIRST Game Survivor: Round 6

I'm not feeling the love for Triple Play here.

Honestly, that was probably my second favorite game ever, although Lunacy may dethrone it after this season is all said and done. Why? Because it was a very fun game to drive in, constantly kept the audience on their toes the entire match (even an average robot could strategically place a single tetra and swing the match thirty or more points), and at least for us, was mostly penalty-less*.

It was also the last year of bumper-less robots, the last year of wedges, and the first year ever with 3v3 alliances.

Nope. Triple Play should definitely survive to another day. 2008 (Overdrive) on the other hand, that should be the next one to kick the bucket. That game literally just meandered [mostly] in circles, racking up more penalties per competition than Triple Play ever did.


* To be best of my knowledge, our team did not incur a single 30-pt penalty for our alliances ever that year. It was very simple that year to avoid penalties: don't drive near that corner of the field if they were human loading!
