No updates yet. See earlier posts above: official hint may come out next week, or maybe during the week before kickoff.

Not really...it's kind of obnoxious....

Anyways, I wanna see toroids, we're over due for a game object like that and that'd be fun to manipulate, hang, stack, throw, roll...oh the possibilities!

Think of a donut, hula hoop, or inner tube.

On Page 3, under the "Select Controller Model" dialog box, tell me if you see anything of interest listed there.....

By the way, since the Core Chart people are based in Australia, and Australia has Aborigines, where you have to go (out) back to see them, and Aborigines throw boomerangs, and boomerangs are flat and not too dissimilar from batons, and a boomerang's flight path is a continuous loop which never ends, the field object will undoubtedly be boomerangs. Robots will release the boomerangs in autonomous like the balls in 2004, and the human players will score points by throwing the boomerangs at life sized cardboard cutouts of Billfred while skating on HDPE. But beware, the robots will most likely be very dexterous themselves, and they can use their complex manipulators to chuck boomerangs back at the human players. In addition, the 2006 game will be marked by the return of the placebo in the form of a robot painted MOE-green that will wander randomly about the field. Any robot who successfully detects the placebo with its CMU-CAM and hits it with a boomerang gets another 30 seconds in the amazing gee whiz super bonus final autonomous robot disco dance competition round at the end of each match.

:rolleyes:

I'm hoping for a moebius loop. :D

I also think calvinball-esque rules would be a nice twist http://www.simplych.com/cb_rules.htm

For those of you who might have missed my innuendo in my previous post in this thread, I believe there may be a new RC this year ("IFIRC 2006"), based upon a clue provided in the CoreChart .pdf file I linked to. No idea whether this will actually be the case or what, if any, new capabilities of such a revamped RC would be....
