2004 Game, and LEGO similarities...

Ok, I don't intend for this to be the typical "What this years Game???" thread, but if it becomes that, that's cool.
I just wanted to talk about some things I'm not sure other teams have noticed.
The main thing is the similarity between FLL Games, and the FRC game, that seems tho happen each year.
For example, in the FLL 2001 game, the majority of tasks involved moving small objects, and sometimes putting them inside other things. That was very similar to the Zone Zeal game, putting balls in goals and moving them around. Last year, the 2002 FLL game featured a large ramp, and tasks included putting objects on top of things, moving upward (not directly stacking but similar enough) and putting things into certain areas, and we saw the ramp, stacking bins, and the scoring areas in the 2003 FRC game.
Several other local teams pointed this out to me, and when I look back at it, I noticed the similarities. I know it doesn't sound to similar, but I'm not sure how many of you witnessed th actual competing at FLL, but I guess in-game it looked similar to things that happened in the FRC game.
I'm waiting for the 2003 FLL kickoff tomorrow... It sounds like they are playing a game where you have to open gates, and possibly a basketball - type game...
I'll post more here w/ some 2004 predictions after tomorrow.
