For some reason I don't think Round Objects will be a part of this year. Cubes instead of balls.. goals not in a circular pattern, either octagonal or decagonal [possible DEKAgon joke, god I hope not]. And I don't mean like last year's goal or the year before with the circle of PVC.. I think any extensions will also not be in a circle.
I expect something else dealing with semi-precise balancing, due to the Segway HT launch (possible promotions other than dean wandering around on his Segway).
Hmm.. what else.. I don't think there will be items intended for tug-o-war this time around, FIRST seems to always throw a kink in games to change the biggest part. (2 x 2 competition with hanging bar became 4x0 with teeter-totter became 2 x 2 tug-o-war)
I think this year will again have 2 x 2 alliances with a dead robot still being of score. (Nothing 0, Stretcher 10pts, home zone 10pts).
Or hey.. maybe with the expansions.. a 3 x 3. Might be a bit far-fetched though considering badbrad's comment "FIRST spent lots of money designing the all metal field." I wouldn't be surprised at the same size field.
Well.. I've tossed in well more than my 2¢
