But the 2015/2016 FLL/JrFLL game themes are based on recycling.

The capacity of the PNW events was set at 32 teams, and there are 2 that haven't filled up.
That's true - FIRST could make only 4 finals alliances too.

Since this field perimeter was introduced there has always been a piece of angle at the bottom of the side rails.

The lottery hasn't happened yet. All FIM districts will have 40 teams.

One of the programmers on our team found that in the administrative manual, in section 4.5.1, it talks about how the number of practice matches must be divisible by 6, basically confirming 6 robots on the field.

He also found this: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=67

Looks like there will still be 6 teams per match at least - from the 2015 administrative manual:

Quote:
Practice Matches are randomly assigned and each team is assigned an equal number of Practice Matches unless the number of teams multiplied by number of Practice Matches is not divisible by six.

hmmm...They did use the same music as the FLL promo video, "Get in the Game"

The recycle bin was a red herring. It simply meant that Aerial Assist is trashed for now but will be reused again someday in the future.

In apocalyptic terms, "Change is coming" could possibly be translated to "The End Is Nigh". (The recent Mayan "end of days" was supposed to be a "change" rather than doomsday. "Nigh" is translated to "near" or "close".)
Or this could be the last year of FRC :(

That's NOT floor. That's the inside of the side rail, where the side panels rest against the rail.


Folks, Frank (and the recycling bin) are on the near side of a field, near midfield or the "near" border. The bin is raised up a bit, I'll assume on a small table, or is a tall bin. The field rail in view is not the near side rail; it is the FAR side rail, inside of the field view. Note the gate ramp visible in the bottom right corner of the linked picture: It's down, obscuring the rest of the bottom rail from view. (You can see the "rest" that's used when it's up quite clearly--the "rest" is sticking up.) See the attachment for the general arrangement: orange is camera, blue is the bin, black dot is Frank, and the black box is the field border.

Now, I'm going to guess that the field section shown (a small one) is not representative of the 2015 FRC game. I'm guessing that they used an empty field--all the stuff that was on or in that field can change (and does, year-to-year).

Good. There would be no way to handle more than 6 robots. I just hope it doesn't go to 3 alliances at a time. They would have to re-write the rules for eliminations. The change can't be to something other than 3 on 3

This makes the most sense to me.

I looked through the thread a little but I was wondering if anyone else noticed at 0:12 how they used the wrong clip for '99 "Double Trouble". The one shown in its place is from '97 "Troid Terror".

Also, am I the only one who finds it ironic how he is recycling something right after he says change is coming?

Thats the song in the video. It doesn't seem particularly interesting. Except its from a website called wav tracks. wav = wave = water, tracks = racing, its a water racing game. Clearly.

Yes it has been noted. Personally I think this is one of the biggest clues. Or a huge mistake by someone at FIRST.

Maybe we just need to forget everything that happened in 99. For those of you not born yet should be easy.
