I don't think the scoring this year was all that bad, if you knew the rules it was pretty easy math to do in your head real quick! I personally liked last years game and scoring system better, this years game, I felt, took away alot of excitement from the whole "competition". Last years game made teams go head to head agianst one another, yet you still needed to help out your opposing alliance in order for your team to get high scores. I liked having 2 on 2 alliances, it added excitement and kept more dynamics in the game, because not only did you have to worry about your robots performance, you had to think about what you could graciously do to try and stop the other alliance from beating you. One other thought: Why does animation recieve such little acknowledgement? They work just as hard if not harder sitting there and meticulosly designing and animating every litlle bit and piece which goes into their animation, I feel the deserve more recognition!
