I just heard from a reliable source that works near the FIRST facilities and had an opportunity to spied on the game makers. He reported several large containers hidden in the back (see attached spy picture).
There were several of these contains, he said one was filled with empty 2-liter plastic Coke bottles only and the other was filled with empty 2-liter plastic Pepsi bottles. Some were crashed too.

So using our “gray” matters, we conjured up a 2004 game using the criteria of cheap and easy playing field using the items seen.

We think it’s 99% accurate.

The teams will not be red vs. blue but…. Coke vs. Pepsi. (Red is Coke and Blue is Pepsi; obvious!) On the field there will be four large 55-gallon drums (see, there are drums in the game). One drum for each robot, so it’s a 2 vs. 2 game.
One drum is filled with empty 2-lite Coke bottles and the other filled with empty Pepsi bottles. (keep up with me…think cheap playing field)

The point of the game is to empty your drums of 2-liter bottles and put them in the 4 green recycle containers in the middle of the field (the game has an environment theme).
You get one point for each Coke or Pepsi bottle in the recycle container.
See the advantages- not only is the playing field cheap to build but the game will create rivalry between Coke and Pepsi! More sponsorship?

That’s the 2004 Game!!!!!
