Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

I'm surprised the dialog hasn't gotten more attention.

"Build your champion" "rally your kingdom" "Face the challenge ahead together".

Regardless of what the challenge actually is, this seems to hint at some kind of major alliance integration. Seeing only one robot featured in the animation made me initially think that there might even be modular robots where alliances put together a machine based on a common modularization scheme.

"Face the challenge together" seems to suggest a continuation of the "no direct competition" trend of last year which was heavily predicated by the chaos of Aerial Assist's very competition heavy game (it was basically football) mixed with FRC's very defense-averse penalty system.

I have long thought that FIRST is going to move FRC into the same format as FTC, FLL, and JR. FLL.....when you don't compete with people on the field. "Broader appeal"?

I mean, direct competition is not very politically correct anymore.
