The field shape and size won't be changing. Andy mark know has a deal with first to reproduce the field so teams would be spending thousands of dollars for a field they can't even use. First wouldn't do that to anyone

Probably not, however they definitely have enough footage from the past few years to get the scores they want, so at some point the scores in the challenges may start to have more meaning. I'm suggesting that point is 1999 because that is where the mix up is.
I M almost certain that FIRST has all of the major matches from all the years recorded. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they had every match recorded.

The statement about the field size not changing is correct. If they reused the game, I would hate it unless they modified it well enough. Guess what though? They showed all the years of change. Change happens every year. What if the change is that there is no change? That would be a change. However, I feel that change could refer to the 6 division at Einstein. I think different alliance sizes would be cool, but making it work with the same size field seems unrealistic.

Someone might have said this already... but after reading a lot of this thread, my teammates and I took another look at the game hint video and although Frank is totally standing on a 2015 field, they don't show the field surface...

lends to the idea that it might not be carpet this year. :ahh:

After Lunacy, I'm really hoping that they're smart enough to not have that kind of thing again. However, what would be interesting is patches of different surfaces throughout the field, or the field divided into sectors, each with a different surface. That would make driving different and open surface based strategies.

The more things change the more they stay the same !!

As I stated in the interview last night, there's also a pattern rotating from perfectly spherical objects to non spherical objects or spherical objects with holes in them. By objects I mean game pieces. This has been going on since about 2000.

On the frc blog Frank made a comment titled 97 footage for 99 game that read whoops. I guess they did just make a mistake. Here is the link for anyone interested. http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...is-a-game-hint

Too lazy to find the post that mentioned it earlier, but I think it warrants repeating that Frank posted a much more... Straightforward version of this hint on the blog in October. Not saying that there isn't something hidden in the video, but Frank has pretty much confirmed that a major rule, something that's been a part of FRC for multiple years now, is changing. My vote is on no teleop this year. Just think, giant metal 6-player FLL. *That* would be change.

I think no teleop would really take away from team cooperation. Don't think FIRST would ever do that.

This is the most terrifying theory I've read. I'm the sole programming mentor.

This could totally be a sarcastic comment. He could be saying "whoops, I know I did it wrong, I just want you to think it was an accident."

You never know with FIRST:confused:

The game is named Change. "Change" is coming. This was also Frank's audition tape to be the new movie promo voice over guy.
