FIRST Robotics competition

Kickoff for the FRC 2008 game was yesterday. The game this year is FIRST Overdrive which is just a fancy name for going in circles while playing with balls. Quite frankly, I am disappointed in it. The removed the auton period and allowed limited human control during a new 'hybrid' mode. Ok yes auton was hard... wait no it wasn't. There was no excuse not to have an auton mode. For the last two years FIRST has been downplaying the auton mode. I understand that it is intimidating but really I do not feel that it is as difficult as it is made out to be. It is a simple series of if statements. Not hard at all...The least they could of done was to allow use of the camera or some way of using a sequence of button presses. But they banned both of those. So basically... we have humans controlling auton mode now. Which is boring.

Oh and this game is gonna SUCK to watch. That is all for now
