I think the best thing to do is treat this like one of the GDCs game hints, and given they will be on the field by sometime Friday, just tune in to Greater Toronto's stream.

Heh. No need for me to tune in, I'll be seeing it up close and personal first thing tomorrow morning. I'm field resetting at GTREast.

Well, that's one way to do it.
Hm... now if only I could convince my school to excuse abscences every Thursday and Friday for the next 6 weeks.

Oh, and as a FIRST student, thank you for volunteering at an event! :)

Re: 1114's Sneak Preview

So does this mean that somewhere in Canada there are robots named Face, Hannibal and Murdock?

Re: 1114's Sneak Preview

I see some tanks (Unplumbed by the looks of it). If you look at the 2008 glass panel, you can see what looks like a curvature to their shooter, but then the wheels are at the top corner. ?.? Never before have I wanted so many details. As far as the floor pick up goes, it would make sense if it were in the back right (looking at it head on), but it doesn't quite look like it's a break in the bumpers, but more so that the the "split" we see is just the fact they only have two bumpers.

Because of IRI, I would say 2826 might have been a good 3rd one, but they have another name so that doesn't work.

I wasn't going crazy at all, there IS a curvature to their shooter/hopper. I'm happy.

Loved that too^

In addition to the lack of floor pickup:
They dedicated more power (4 rs550s) to their shooter than their climber (2 cims).
Looks like it should be capable of pyramid shots while climbing.
Hopper under the shooter is different than most bots we have seen so far.

Lots of interesting design decisions and I'm excited to see how they work out.
