Emphasis on robot size and weight increases, alliances including more robots, and a different field surface and shape.

Also hinting that the majority of the rules are different from last year by throwing away the game manual (ok yes he threw it in the recycling but that is what he would have done anyways if the recycling part had nothing to do with the hint).

Subtle hint that 1999 wasn't worth showing. 1999 was quite a bit different than any other game in first, the game pieces were floppy and a lot harder to pick up than any other game piece that I can think of.

The side rails of the field that Frank was on was almost waist high, much higher than previous years.

Give me until the 3rd of next year and I'll have figured it out by then.
