While I agree the name is a little funny, this game does offer many new challenges and should be very interesting
This game I feel could be the best ever by Worlds. So many things to specialize your robot to do. Such as a free roaming field but you have to sacrifice height or three very different goals. Just the thought of free forming objects that weigh 51 lbs altogether makes this game exciting. The variety of designs will be awesome to see.
Can’t wait to see some videos of some crazy ideas in action playing this really awesome looking game.
I am very exited for this game. There is just so much more that you can do, and more potential for innovative solutions. Can’t wait. Literally can’t wait, so bandito and I started building today…
As for the sacks between goals, I asked at the reveal and the refs have to decide which goal it is more in.
Epicness, I love building, The Chabot, Marc III will be an amazing robot.
I couldn’t agree more. I think that there will be some very innovative designs which will allow getting under the troughs and scoring in high goals. I can’t wait to see some of the things teams will think of. It’s only been three days and I’ve already heard of a few great ideas. I can’t wait to see how things are at worlds next year.
umm, im pretty sure all the “good” robots can do both of those by doing the “new efficiency design”
if you CANT do both of those, then “your doing it wrong” 
I know I’m repeating other people, but I completely agree. Though round up was pretty amazing… I think this could be the best vex game yet. And I firmly believe that the robots at the next world championship will be the best robots vex ever seen.
True. Though… sadly most of the designs put forth in my club so far have not been able to do both due to the fact that people either forget that it’s only 15 inches or they haven’t cared to get the high goals.
The real question is, SHOULD you score on all the goals?
Honestly, unless you can efficiently score mass quantities of game objects up there, I don’t think so
wait, not sure if im reading correctly,
are you guys saying to ignore the 30" goal?
and focus on the 18" troughs?
(just making it clear)
We got our sacks and trough in today. They stack surprisingly well.
You can make whatever design you want, we won’t be able to stop you. I know one of our sub-teams is doing Trough Only, one is completely stumped, and we’re most of the way done with our design, just need to get parts and prototype.
Just during the match;)
Descoring exists again, so as people learned from Round Up and Clean Sweep the most valuable points are permanent points.
If you can’t descore high, you give your opponents a source of permanent points. All they need to do is score some points where you can’t descore them and then allow the rest of the game to reach equilibrium, and they should win. So I think that at least descoring the high goals is essential.
Scoring in the high goals allows you the flexibility to score wherever your opponents will have the most trouble descoring your sacks, and that’s probably pretty useful.
This is very accurate
