Re: What do you think of this year's game?
As this is my first year, I have no other games to base this upon, but I do like the fact that this game almost enforces you to meet with your alliance AND the opposing alliance to talk strategy and (mainly) coopertition bridge balancing.

Re: What do you think of this year's game?
I enjoyed the fact that you can shoot uninterupted on the key. but it proved difficult for the defending bot. the fender in front of the hoops also was a good part of the game. the coop bridge however did not help. it gives both teams the same points and doesn't really effect the match or any of the teams except by ranking.

Re: What do you think of this year's game?
The middle bridge was the main thing that I personal thought was bad. It gave to much prority than the main part of the game. Other than this I loved another season of robotics.

Re: What do you think of this year's game?
Another thing that I have to say about this year's game, the robot is GREAT for PR. We recently took the robot to an elementary school's math night. It was loved by both kids and adults when we ramped up the power so that it could shoot into a 10ft basket. We got many questions and many opportunities to talk about FIRST. This is a game that many people can relate to, making PR and game description easy.

Re: What do you think of this year's game?
This was my team's first year, so I can't really compare Rebound Rumble to any of the previous games... but I'd definitely say that this was a great one to kick off our FRC careers with. I absolutely loved it.
The comparability with an actual sport made watching fun and strategizing addicting. The whole coopertition aspect--though it did seem to have a few faults--really placed importance on interacting with other teams and their drivers, which was nice. ...and let me tell you, having this be our rookie year game made the whole idea of FRC incredibly easy to market to our community. My team did a ton of demos (especially with younger kids); everything flowed well and grabbed attention. |

It certainly does make a difference trying to market a robot that shoots hoops as compared one thats rather obscure and hangs inner tubes on a wall. |

Re: What do you think of this year's game?
Something I've noticed (and other teams as well) is the inconsistencies in the wear and subsequent replacement on the balls. At Suffield Shakedown, the balls were replaced quite frequently. However, at the WPI Regional balls were replaced far less frequently. This caused issues with most teams shooters.
Despite the issue with the balls, I loved the bridges and barrier aspect of the game. |

Re: What do you think of this year's game?
Not much. Shades of Diabolical Dynamics in terms of the lack of defense possibilities. After having competed in the both heavily offensive games and heavily defensive games, I prefer the latter. "Can't we all just get along" doesn't make for very exciting spectator sports (and this is one of the challenges for FIRST if it is to become more than just a High School activity).
Lets get back to hockey... Checking is OK but High Sticking is not. |

Defense ended up being more vital to bridge play than anything else. Especially if there was a triple balance threat. The game was way more fun for spectators this time, it was way easier to get non-FIRSTers cheering along.

Re: What do you think of this year's game?
Completely agree, I think that's where FIRST is going, and I'm fine with that

I really liked the game this year. I found the game this year to be a good year for a rookie member. I found both the bridges and the shooting enjoyable. I really liked that you where able to cooperate with either your team (bridge) or your opponent (co-op bridge).
What I didn't like was how often the balls got stuck underneath the bridge. Since our game strategy was all about crossing the bridge the balls where irritating. Another point about the bridges that I didn't enjoy was that the KOP wheels had a low friction on the bridge and this caused us to slip a lot. To reiterate this was very unenjoyable because we needed to cross the bridge. Overall I loved the game it was extremely fun there is a few things they could have improved on but I can't wait for next year. |
