My unbiased vote is for Moist's law.

I say Frank's law, in honor of the law's originator, and also Frank Merrick.

It's not a law, it's a malady. Perhaps Delphi Hydrophilitis?

Hello All. For those of you who remember the "simulated" low gravity of LUNACY via regolith, consider a water game "simulated" viscosity via ball pit. Bazinga!!

Oh, but how do you set-up? Wade through the simulated water? Does the robot float on top? Is there a "dry" area for set-up and then it's flooded at the start of the game? What about autonomous? Etc. . . . Etc. . . Etc. . . .

Hmm.. what if the 2016 game has a separated field, (3v0) with heavy bumper-ed field elements that need to be 'rammed' to accomplish the task?

Great question, we're hoping to have several rookie teams in BC this year, and finding pool noodles in Canada in February (even in soggy Vancouver) is exactly as challenging as you'd expect it to be. Time to hit the fall clear-out at Canadian Tire.

"Yes."

Pool noodles != Bumper

While you are correct, Frank did state that the pool noodles were for bumpers. I highly doubt Frank would be advising teams to make a purchase for bumper building material for bumpers if he did not expect teams to have bumpers.

Edit: I see your edit.

Then it would rank right up there with 2009 and 2015 as one of the top 3 worst FRC games.

I mean, some teams can't even move past arbitrary lines on the field.

I think corn kernels would be a better idea than a ball pit. Smaller particles more closely resemble the viscosity of water. I can't remember where I got the idea from...

Yes. Just a quick question for everyone. What is your favorite drivetrain for a defense-heavy game (please dont link the thread from 2011 [you know which one])? My personal favorite is butterfly.
Completely unbiased, octocanum is definitely the best. ;)
