Just watched this with my FIRST team (759, one of a very small number of UK teams). It's interesting the FTC integration which was used last year (for the minibot) is not repeated and instead harks back to a more traditional FRC game.
Yes, it's a much simpler game than I'd expected. Except for the squishiness of the foam basketballs it sounds more like a game from 5-10 years ago to me.
