In the '96 section, you can see an example of the "stealth bags" mentioned here http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ight=FIRST+101.

One of my favorite game quirks came from the 2002 end game. Each alliance had a designated endzone at either end of the field. At the end of the match, you received points for every robot that was even partially in your endzone. Without a limitation on robot dimensions (other than height) you ended up with mechanisms that could span the whole length of the field. Some of these were completely passive, like a ribbon that unrolled at the end of the match. Some were essentially the precursors to minibots (with tethers of course).
and then there was what 276 did....
