2010 Lesson Learned: The Positive

[steelerborn]

This year's game was by far my favorite yet.
It required a lot more strategy from the start of the year to the very end.
Plus I really liked how this year was modeled off a sport it made it fun to watch but still challenging to the teams.

I agree. This year's game was more focused on the whole "coopertition" aspect of playing on alliances. This provides a little more variation and innovation amongst robots, and even made very effective strategies (take 469's robot for example). I hope to see more of this in the future.

I liked the weekly update even when there were no updates so you could rest assured everything was the same for next week.
