I have to disagree. Maybe because it was my first FIRST year, I think Overdrive was great! No human player, very important autonomous, reasonable, non-convoluted rules (except maybe G22), and a fun, exciting game to watch.
This year, while not on the list, is fun to watch, but the human player has way too much influence on the outcome of what is supposed to be a robotics competition.
Edit: Possibly the reason I liked overdrive was the unique nature of our 'bot. This year's bot is probably more capable in the overall scheme of the game, but is similar to several other bots. Last year, 1771 built a bot that was not only one of the top teleop scorers in the country, but was also totally unique. Not one single team built a bot similar to it (yes, I know there were other bots with a vacuum manipulator, but none that could shoot). Anyway, that is probably why I am prejudiced.

None. They'll just say it's a hardware problem. - crafty [more]
