Re: 2014 Game
I think FIRST will try to get away from tradition in the coming years. With the stacking/shooting paradigm having been in place for a while, with a few exceptions, I think the GDC will break from the pattern. Think about the bridges in 2012 and the pyramid jungle gym in 2013. It seems like they are pushing towards more robust, mobile robots that can overcome large physical obstacles. My prediction for 2014 is a bumpy or mobile field, with the main objective being to transport a large or heavy object from one side of the field to the other, and then placing/shooting it in a goal. Autonomous might include some shooting/placing of secondary game pieces, and endgame might be a king of the hill type objective. Anyways, I think there will be a focus on overcoming obstacles of various kinds, like hills/bumps or a climbing objective.
