2001 Field Pictures, Kickoff Video

[Jeff Waegelin]

I'm doing a project with my team that involves taking some old FIRST games, and getting them to design robots to play those games. The first one I'm starting with is the 2001 game, Diabolical Dynamics. My question: does anyone have good pictures of the field from that game? I'm not as interested in robot pictures, but just the field elements (goals, the bridge, etc.). Also, if anyone has a digital copy of that year's kickoff video, that would be amazing...

Also, if you know where to find kickoff video/game animations from any of the previous games, those might come in handy later.

Anyways, if you have any good pictures or video from that game, let me know. Thanks!

I did a short montage video for my high school team that year. It's still on their website (http://www.swindsor.k12.ct.us/Highschool/bobcats/media_video.shtml). I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but it's a start. There is also a pretty good description of the game in the History section of the site.

There are some good pictures that Heidi and Eric took.

At the bottom of this page are the 2001 links. (http://invisiblerobot.com/robotics/robotics01.html)

This one is probally real good, because it shows the field elements without robot designs to influence current designs.

FIRST still has the competition manual from 2001 on their site.
