Re: Lunacy = Greatest Game Ever

I did like Lunacy, and I appreciated that it was a change of pace from past years, however I would not go so far as to say that it is the greatest game ever.

Re: Lunacy = Greatest Game Ever

Lunacy ranks just ahead of Rack and Roll and just behind Aim High on my list of favorite games, but mostly because Overdrive came right before it did. The best way to learn is by facing a variety of challenges, and this game is different from Overdrive in almost every way. Last year's game was nearly a pure display of robot performance, as close to playing in a vacuum as FIRST has been in a while. The fact that there was only two trackballs severely limited the role of the alliances third robot and as a result, most effective robots were able to carry alliances by themselves. This year was almost the exact opposite. The addition of defense and the fact that the goals were on the robots made the least effective robot on the alliance just as important as the most effective one, and made strategy and teamwork integral parts of this game. Human players and super cells added many outside variables for teams to consider, mirroring real life much more closely than Overdrive did. In addition to this, the game is much more entertaining to watch than overdrive was. Overall I really enjoyed this game.
