There is a new game coming out for kinect where you have to go through the shape in the wall. I think that it kinda has something to do with the mulling definition that i heard.

A collegiate robotics competition. FIRST had the pilot event at Championship last year in the pits. In the FLL end of the pits, IIRC from the event maps.

Aaaah! I saw a few rounds of that but couldn't connect the name.

Exciting change at the championships? Could it be 8 divisions this year and a full bracket on Einstein?

With a speech between each game, they'd have to add another day! :ahh:

Having 8 divisions would be really cool! It would give more opportunity as well to other teams of having that irreplaceable feeling of being on Einstein! I would love to see that happen! However i don't think they have enough space. They might be able to do 6... (4 in the stadium, 2 in the pits) but 8 would be hard.

With how things were in the dome, I can't see them doing this even if the area claimed by i.am.FIRST last year was available. Giving the two non-Einstein FRC fields more separation from FTC and FLL would be a higher priority to me. (You may be able to cram two more FRC fields in the space i.am.FIRST occupied last year, but that would be VERY cozy and lead to even more issues like we found on Newton during our day in the dome next to FTC.)

Fix the pit field seating, space out the dome fields (and FTC), and I'll be satisfied with the nuts and bolts. If Bill's non-notice was regarding icing on the metaphorical cake, well, we'll handle that later.

Icing?!? Frozen water game!

It would not be the same feeling or glory as teams who have been to Einstein with 4 divisions because it would simply not be as hard as it was for them.

8 divisions would be cool, if logistically possible, but it wouldn't be the same as the current Einstein.

I'm thinking that if you were there, it'd be the same for you!

This is good news, I'm looking forward to getting onto the field and talking with the GDC this year at Kickoff. Note that it is becoming increasing likely that EWCPcast will be filming the field, as well as interactions with whatever the game pieces and taking pictures to share with the FIRST community.

8 divisions??!?!??! Might as well have a whole competition for the pre-division playoffs and on.
