And 67's bot that year might have been their greatest bot ever. They just ran into the one bot that could stop them on Einstein in 868 (actually 237 could have done the same thing). |

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
As a former driver, my pick is Rack N' Roll. That game was an absolute blast to watch, play, as well as describe to people. It was fast, it was rough, it was difficult at times, and you never knew what was going to happen when the next ring went on the rack.
Definitely kept people on their toes! |

As for a ranking, I've only been around for 10 years so I'm biased. 2004 - so many things to do 2000 - easiest game to re-do as 3 vs 3 2006 - you got to shoot things, how much cooler could it have been? 2007 - easy enough to understand, team deployed ramps made for a nice switch 2003 - King of the hill! I heard there were bins in this game also. |

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
I've been involved for the past four years so I can only pick out of those, and I have to pick 2007. I prefer games that require some sort of arm to those that use a shooter as it leads to be more robot to robot interaction when going for a single target. Plus I still think 2007's autonomous mode was the most interesting of the past four years and the end game was also awesome.

While Tripple Play was my favorite game I played in, but Aim High was my favorite game overall.

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
Anyone have any wild ideas for a game that could integrate the best features of '04 and '07?

Play '04 with 3 teams per alliance?

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
There was barely enough room for four robots on the field in 2004 nevermind 6.
That platform was huge! |

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
My top 3 (in my nine years of FIRST)
2004 - So much to do and so many creative designs, this game was always non-stop action and excitement. I still love watching that video of 190 climbing over another robot to hang on the bar (I don't remember what off-season competition this happened at off the top of my head). 2002 - A game of great strategy (unless you were 71 and all you had to do is to not have your arm break (nations) or not get entangled (IRI (Thanks Baker! ))). In qualifing rounds, the winning alliances score was actually 3 times the losing alliances score. So if you dominated 40 - 3, you actually only got 9 points.2009 - The reason I liked this game was because it was easier for the public to understand than what many other years was. It was fast paced and involved a lot of scoring (especially during elims and the championship). I also would like to give a consulation prize to 2005 and 2006. I loved how there was such a big emphasis on autonamous mode where you recieved additional points for scoring the vision tetras or the most amount of points (you can contest 2004 was big with the 10pt ball, however most robots were not able to do this). |

Aim High was my favorite. It was fun to watch and had some great robots. There was constant action and good strategy by switching offense and defense. I also liked the autonomous because it gave you a bonus.

I loved 2007 it was a great game to drive and watch. It had a perfect balance between offense and defense. It was just such a fun game.

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
I've been around for 9 years.
Favorite: Aim High Nothing beat the "wow" factor of a bunch of poof ball-slinging tanks with automatic targeting. And it could have been even better! (the field needed something in the middle in my opinion - maybe a 2003-style king of the hill instead of ramps for each alliance?) 2nd: Rack 'N' Roll I loved the scoring dynamic, the role of defense, and the climactic endgame. 3rd: Lunacy Call it slow if you wish, but Lunacy was one of the most strategic yet conceptually simple games we have ever had. And I loved that any robot could beat any other with good strategy and teamwork. 4th: Triple Play Another really conceptually simple game with such subtle strategic nuances, even if in the end it often just came down to who could do the most volume. 5th: FIRST Frenzy So many things going on on the field! Too many? And hanging was worth way, way too much. I did love the innovation you saw, and we need to bring back steps! 6th: Stack Attack It was a blast to play, and holds a special place because of its introduction of autonomous mode. Exciting endgame too. But once again the endgame was worth too much. 7th: Overdrive I just did not enjoy this game that much. Racing around in a circle. Tossing/lifting balls. No hitting. Repeat. 8th: Zone Zeal This game had a lot of potential, but unfortunately the rounds were often only exciting for about 20 seconds, after which nobody could seem to push anybody around and we sat still for another minute and a half. 9th: Diabolical Dynamics I appreciate the change of pace, but 4 vs. 0 missed out on so much of what I love about matches. And I wasn't a fan of the qualification system at all. |

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
I noticed a heavier weighting on the latest games. The old timers are outnumbered. My favorite was zone zeal. Brute force wins. Second was stack attack - the first year of autonomous. Seems like every year the game gets more complex - nothing wrong with that - but basketball has remained simple for its entire life, is simple to understand, simple to score, and keeps viewers interested. How about FIRST robots playing a basketball game - one ball, two goals, 3 on 3, blocking shots, goaltending, 3 second rule at the goal, 10 second shotclock, passing, shooting, foulshots at the end based on penalties, dunking, three point line, etc. Bet the game would be TV ready.

Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?
I too was noticing that pattern, it could be interesting to weight each persons vote by their years in FIRST, this would mean people like Andy Baker would count for a lot more than a rookie who has very little basis for comparison. Obviously this would break down for some people who have relatives in FIRST and have seen every game but not participated in them.
