Honestly, it often snows here in South Bend on non-gamedays too.

I know this is a little off-topic, but when Aerial Assist was adored by so many on Chop Shop I am just curious as to why so many people everywhere else dislike it so much.

Honestly, I'd probably only compete just so I don't get fined.

The biggest reasons I had for disliking it, was due to the crazy amount of penalties and no calls, and the fact that if an alliance partner decided not to show up to a match it was near impossible to pull of a win in qualifiers.

Football is a sport that causes its athletes to be fatigued. Fatigued people sweat. People who sweat drink Gatorade at sports events. Gatorade has the word Gator in it. Gator is short for alligator. Alligators swim in the water. Water game 2016 confirmed.

I'd imagine formulating a game plan with 10 other teams would be difficult, depending on their willingness to work with different ideas pitched to them.

But there was already a football theme in 2010. /s

Honestly I think the GDC is gonna stay away from the sports theme for bit longer. But I wouldn't mind being proven wrong though...

Maybe we'll get to stack something exciting like buckets or pallets!

I like this idea. It would force teams to really break down the game and decide how their robot will fit within the game's roles

I've been predicting a football game for the past 3 years and have been disappointed every time it hasn't been one. Oh well, at least I've got some good ideas on game piece manipulation.

I will be a little frustrated if this true,I've always wanted to drive in a football FIRST Game, and this year, I'm a senior . I would be more of a fan of Football Frenzy instead of Recycle Rush.
