Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint

I swore to myself that I wouldn't post.

I think there will be three alliances, the third one being green.
Hence the water bottles and a coordinate system clue.

Three or four years ago at the CMP they showed a third color implying a three alliance competition in the future.

I think that suggestion has come true.

If so, the question is how many teams on each alliance?
2v2v2 or 3v3v3.

I think they transitioned us to smaller perimeters last year to prepare us for a crowded field of 9 robots.
Tough in smaller district competitions for match scheduling, so, maybe the matches will be longer this year.

Maybe autonomous will be at the end?

Or in the middle.
Driving in a circle stacking tetras on our opponents.
With well hung Ubertubes and a bridge over a tunnel.
2x Bonus balls on a stairway to heaven.
Each alliance will form a pyramid with one robot climbing on the other two.
Big Coopertition points if all nine robots climb on each other.
And there will be regolith. Covered with corn.
For the endgame each alliance will drive into the pits and knock over their opponents totes and steal their batteries.

I'm still working on the point values.
And each team should start prototyping a TARDIS.

Remember, you heard it here FIRST

Oh yeah, almost forgot.
SuperSoakers to short out your opponents electrical system.


When's the next ChiefDelphi Anonymous meeting?
