Re: No really, what do you think the game will be like?

I agree with Ken, although I think that you will be awarded points for completing something quickly. For example, if the game lasts 2 minutes (120 seconds) then you will get points for [dropping an object into a bin] after a certain amount of time. If you droped it in 30 seconds into the game, you'd get 90 points (120 - time it took you in seconds). Although I think that it'll be more like constrcuting something rather then dropping a ball into a bin.

Stairs would be a really neat twist. It would require all teams to develop some kind of neat stair climber, since all of the previous games have been on flat planes that required conventional drivesystems. FIRST would factor that in and make the game easier.

Autonomous was a smash success, so it'll probobly be lengthened to 30 seconds+. Perhaps the robots will have to climb a stair case during autonomous.

Judging by previous years, FIRST will want a quick paced game, so obsticles like stairs and [many] oil drums probobly won't be in this year's game.
