Jim Beck, from FIRST in California, talked to us at a workshop yesterday and said that even though he wasn't on the GDC, he knew the design process. He told us that a lot of the things in FRC games are taken from a variety of other games. Different elements and rules will be taken from other games.

His example to us: Lunacy. Lunacy used the game piece collecting and launching form Aim High and the trailer from the game with the trailer (I forgot.). He said Dean told him that he wanted a hard to maneuver playing field, just like Maize Craze, the first FRC competition.

His last words to us: If you look at all of the previous years' things, including any year, not just ones 6 or 7 years ago, and piece things together with the hints, you can easily guess the game.

He also told us to stay off Chief Delphi. Apparently the endless threads about game hints are bad for our health.
