Re: What is your favorite FRC game to date?

I think this proves that every top game as chosen by the CD community are ones that the field is a pain in the butt to build!

I remember a reports of a quote from a night before kickoff in 2007 (which is currently in the lead) that a satellite kickoff field builder crew stated "this thing is the most complicated field to build to date" without going into any more detail.

GDC, if you want a good game... make the field complicated to build!

Whether that is the true link, or it's somthing else, you can't deny the proof from the current poll results.

Ugh, 2007's field was horrible. I mean honestly, there seemed to be more steps to build the field than some teams took to build their whole robot! (I exaggerate of course but it really was a pain to build)

I'd have to agree on it being tough to build. Not the field border, mind you, the rack. Not only do you have to put it up (and it's got some heavy pieces), but then you have to go inside and put in the spider legs, and somewhere along the line you have to take the box for all the lights (or the battery cord) up to the top and plug in the lights. And hope that the A/V guys gave you enough cord for decent rack movement...

But it was a very strategic game, tough to win, and strategy was a killer if you did it wrong.
