Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

The Red Dragon is a slightly modified version of the Drexel University Dragon.


The Yellow Dragon is a version that they used a number of years ago in an ad campaign.

The interlooped drawing at the center is a close approximation on how Main, Randal and the Bossone Research Enterprise Center are connected together. (Robotics and Biotech)

Little known fact is that between those buildings, in what would be the center of the map is the best Philly Lunch trucks. If you stand in the center it's like being deep inside a small canyon.

Yes, the 2016 game is Lunch Truck Wars! Your robot is a lunch truck, you need to navigate the streets of Philadelphia. The lines on the blueprint outside area is the streets, those two stick figures with poles are actually construction workers with stop signs directing and redirecting traffic. If you look at the blue print there are a number of circles, I think those represent pot holes in the street.

Once you maneuver into the parking area, you'll need to feed the students. I'm guessing that they will reuse the Frisbee supply from a few years ago to be "plates of food" Red for Pizza, Yellow for Cheese steaks (wit!), White for Chinese food (on rice) and Blue is Gluten Free (bonus meals).

Most students fed wins. Maybe the endgame is getting back to your distribution point at night.

Here is the kicker, you want to feed as many as possible, so you need to distribute the food before the match (preloads). So scouting becomes very important on how many frisbee / food can a robot take and actually deliver.

I love it, best FIRST game ever!
