I'd wager that's pretty likely.

I fear for a game that would necessitate the existence of a COTS drivebase like this. :ahh:

Well, didn't they come out with a cot bumper set up for the AM14U2 right before kickoff last year? I would say that is pretty much as far from a game hint as you can get.

I am pretty sure Andymark does not get a heads up on what the game is before hand but, I could be wrong.

From what I hear games are sometimes not fully designed until weeks before kickoff.

A product like this would take a lot longer to develop and source.

I could be wrong but either way I wouldn't stretch your brain too far as it most likely has nothing to do with this years game.

Combined tank with WCD and Octicanum using the new versa drops. Would be heavy but could be awesome.

A few years ago they said that they were going to start developing the games a few years in advance. I'd imagine he game is designed to the point that major changes won't happen, at least to the field itself.

Well, the reason that butterfly works well with tank is because all the wheels on one side are linked, with octocanum you would need 4 independent treads, which kinda kills the point.

Not necessarily. I'm seeing most butterfly designs using separate motors for each module.

I heard in a Game sense stream that the Recycle Rush scoring platforms were only put in place 1 month before kickoff even after the AM14U2 was already designed. They actually built it in every configuration and drove it over the platform to make sure it worked.

Very interesting if true.
