FRC 2011: Logomotion [Initial Impressions]

[oddjob]

First impression, don't like the game at all. The logo array scoring is spectator unfriendly. Scoring will be unclear and games will end with no idea who has won until the official score is announced, not only because the logo scoring requires a rule book to tally but also the end of game bonus is relatively large. Positioning game pieces on a rack has no relevance to anything in the real world for most people.

For the participants, it will be challenging and fun as it always is when you are competing. In the grand scheme of broadening the appeal of FRC, this game is a step backwards from 2010 "soccer" and a huge disappointment.
