Re: Next Year's Game?

Realistically, I think it is apparent that physical contact between robots is a key part of a successful game. Additionally, when dramatic things happen, like giant balls flying through the air or robots colliding at high speed, the audience will become much more interested. Any game that contains enough of these exciting elements will help FIRST grow. I think the GDC has been getting better at this, and the highly effective robots playing Lunacy were all very exciting to watch.

Adding more Robots to the field in a match, or Economizing the program in general is not the direction FIRST should be taking. If many American schools can build stadiums for school football teams, it seems reasonable that they should be able to pay the FRC entry fee every year.
