Thoughts on This Year's Game

[bbuncher12]

When I first saw the reveal video, I thought that Ultimate Ascent was pretty lame. It seemed like a combination of Aim High and Breakaway, but with frisbees as a gimmick. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the game. I loved seeing the variety of different strategies and designs of robots this year, especially compared to Breakaway, where most peoples' robots were just basic drive trains with shooters attached, plus an extendable climbing mechanism (at least at my regionals). I have seen numerous threads complaining about many aspects of the game, most of which seem to have began since competitions actually began, and I wanted to see how other people's perception of the game have changed since kickoff.

Although maybe I'm biased because there was a team with a defensive fan robot this at my regionals
