One in Lexumburg, Austria, and Switzerland which were all neutral countries in WWII as well as Zossens colors being blue white and green. And green has been a popular topic on chief Delphi. Therefore I believe in a war based game. Also as some one pointed out before 42 was Jackie Robinsons number, as he broke the color barrier for baseball, which is another hint at a war game.

This isn't battlebots this is FRC FIRST no war here. Hope there will never be a full out battlebots. I hate it when the people at my school whenever I tell them I do FIRST robotics team competition and they assume they I do battlebots

I say "no" and then they say that our competition is not cool.
Anyways based on knowledge of past FRC games just drop the idea there is going to be a war game.
The most of generation of students in FIRST now probably will be creating robots for war though, at least that is my prediction. But you know what military technology pretty much always makes it way into civilian life for peaceful purposes. So I guess good can come from it. Like the Xb-47
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47B">Like the X-47b (click me)</a>. The x-47b was the first unmanned aircraft to land on the a aircraft carrier, anyways that technology will probably make it's way into self-driving cars. Anyways you get my point.
But I hope it is not Battlebots. In my opinion FIRST FRC is more challenging than Battlebots because Battlebots are basically the same every year (just destroying the other robot) while FRC robots change every year and there is a tough task every year and only have 6 weeks to build the robot.
Sorry for any typos on a mobile.
