If You could bring back one game, for 1 season in 09 what would it be?

[jax1488]

[rees2001]

Actually, there are a whole lot of us that know about 2000 and earlier. And for those that don't know and are curious, there are many on-line resources like the FIRSTwiki site that can educate you about some of the pre-millennium games. You might want to expand the poll.

2000. Definitely 2000. Don't make all the old schoolers come out of the woodwork to tell you how much they love that game

So simple, yet the possibilities were endless. Back when strategy evolution was expected and encouraged, FIRST has not yet put out a game to beat it.

2004.

I would try to pull off the 71 cap and hang strategy.

[Mike8519]

I would also vote for 2000 (GREAT strategy year, very different game), but seeing how it is not a choice 2004 was a great year for 303 and even though the game was a culmination of several years put together it worked quite well. Many varied scoring oppotunities and a very useful human player who greatly affected the outcome of the match.

2004 for the win!! I never played that game (our team wasn't around...) but I would love to. The amount of things you could do in that game was amazing, and from what I saw, so many different approaches!! (thats the main reason I like / dislike games, the amount of diversity amoung the robots, hence the reason I'm not a big fan of Aim High... )

I have had a design for the 2004 game ever since we started back in 2005! BRING 2004 BACK so I can use my design

[Travis Hoffman]

2004, by far.

I would have put to use the knowledge we've gained in the area of tank treads since then to make sure they wouldn't break during the most inopportune of times. I would have also found the extra weight to install the big ball gripper mechanism we had designed but couldn't use.

I am also somewhat proud to claim we tried to bring back the 2004 game ourselves this year - according to some observers, after we hurdled once at Midwest our robot caught air and swung on the overpass, effectively hanging on the bar. The lift design we used this season is also a variant of our 2004 design.

[Billfred]

My history seems to reflect that the better the game, the worse the robot's performance. Give me a do-over of Aim High or FIRST Frenzy, and I'd be happy--though I wouldn't mind a shot at some of the games of the early alliance era, either.

[Racer26]

Yeah, far and away 2004.

I think I might modify my 2004 offseason robot (we changed our arm from worm gear to multiposition pneumatic in the offseason), and give it the drive units we used in 2007, possibly modified for climbing the 6" stair, if necessary.

[sgreco]

only issue would be hanging.

We saw some robots hanging from the overpass in Boston(not just getting stuck, I mean actually hanging) 1100 was hanging for at least 15 seconds in one match http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv...p?matchid=8877 and they did it again in another. There was another team but I don't remember the number.

[Jeff Waegelin]

2000, for sure. It was the first game I ever saw, and I still think it's the best.

[Kingofl337]

2000 was the bomb!
