I would love to see a game like 2002 appear very soon. That game was so simple in terms of game pieces and field, but brought some intense gameplay. The big game pieces also look amazing to spectators. When showing off your robot to parents, it also looks more impressive to have giant games pieces to manipulate compared to little balls (although a 2006 robot that can track and shoot at a range of 10'+ is very very impressive).

Big game pieces are great if you have the room for them. They are also heavy and hard to transport. Id rather have a game piece that I can transport and show off what it does over something that weighs nearly 200 lbs.

I think 25's robot from 2006 could also be considered as one of those "Greatest Robots Ever Created" even though they didn't win Championships.

But yeah... the problem with this year is that there isn't a very impressive task to take on. In 2002, you could drive down the line of balls in a handful of seconds and earn hundreds of "wows" like team 95 did. In 2007, you lift two robots in a second like 1717 did.
