Re: Water Game Next Year?

The endgame has been a factor since... Since... since alliances were introduced!

Since 1999, where your robot ends up at the end of the match has been worth points, with two exceptions: 2008, where it was where the trackballs ended up, and 2009, where the Supercells were in play. 2005's wasn't used much, because it was for all three robots or none, and you could easily beat it with some clever tetra placement.

Therefore, I make a prediction on the 2013 game: the 2013 game will include some form of endgame (item that only scores points in the last X seconds of teleop or after time expires).
