Not Going To.....Happen! As LIBBY always says "Denim is in the genes!":cool:

We just attempted to confirm this on both iPhone & iPad and could NOT Confirm on either device. Until you can decrypt with a proper password nothing of the kind showed up.

While 65 pages is a big departure from the 111 pages it had last year, I think most of the reduction will be due to formatting. The 2014 admin manual was 78 pages with 26,407 words and the 2015 admin manual is only 51 pages with 23,950 words. So 35% percent reduction in page size with only a 10% reduction in words.

Here is a quick comparison picture (new manual is on the left):

That would definitely be awesome, but I would much rather play hockey on the 2009 surface which I will not name.

Oh, is that how it is now? "The surface that must not be named"? It loses its power if you use its proper name you know... :p

No, the Deatheaters will find you if you name it. That's how Harry got caught.

Think about it. There's pretty much three categories of games: balls, inner-tubes, or some unique specialty thing. We had a ball game last year. We had a specialty game before that (Ultimate Ascent), a ball game before that (Rebound Rumble), and an inner-tube game before that (LogoMotion). I think it's about time for another resurrection of the inner-tubes.

As YouTube commenters have pointed out, the "1999 game footage" that they show is actually footage from Toroid Terror in 1997. Frank acknowledged this to blog posters with a simple "Whoops" - http://bit.ly/177Gf1q

That's definitely a hint. Inner-tube type game with significant structural changes with respect to alliances, robot weight, field size, etc. confirmed.

It's just Lunacy to talk about a field surface this way!

One of the most unusual changes I can imagine is moving the Autonomous to the end. Imagine having to load your robot, Clear your opponents scoring area, and position your robot so that your autonomous runs correctly. A buzzer and 3 seconds for the teams to clear out, then autonomous starts. It could be a really tough challenge.

2015 Kickoff broadcast (Open Captioned) is currently playing classical music, so the new game will have something to do with having robots play instruments, and the winner will be decided by applause level.

I personally don't see them moving autonomous to the end, but if they did, the challenge would either be positioning/loading your robot before the start of the aton. period, or designing your autonomous so that it works in any position on the field (compass and gps?).
