Bill flips to the page of the 2014 manual that's about cycles. Then he says "Change is coming." Probably referring to cycles. Then he tosses the paper into a recycling bin where it will be changed into something else. I think that this year's game will involve exchanging one gamepiece for a different one, with different geometry. It would also be a significant change, because, from what I can gather, every FIRST game so far has had only one geometry type for their gamepiece.



I agree with this. Your logic is sound, and it seems like different geometry would be an interesting, fun, and hard challenge.
