This looks like a game that would probably be really fun for newcomers to the game to play and for new spectators to watch with the direct race between the two alliances and the objectives they have to meet before winning, but I think as teams become more experienced at playing the game, it might get a bit boring and predictable with robots following the same path every single match. However, that could probably be good for promoting programming with the autonomous mode as the repetitive style of the game (especially at the start with pushing the ball and driving up the ramp) is well suited to being pre-programmed. I think the animation could be better, with a bit more than 2D images sliding across the screen at the end of the video. Personally I think a 3D animation of robots attacking other robots with swords as you’ve described in text would look great, so I think you’ve missed an opportunity to present this game as well as you could have by limiting yourself to mostly still images without much variety in style throughout the video. Good luck!
