[JAH]

I'm really thinking that autonomous will be back just because it really added a twist to last years game. Autonomous meant a great deal last year, if you were able to get all the stacks on your side then, you had a much easier job throughout the match. I've heard a lot about this idea of stairs and it seems as if it would be neat. I'm thinking that stairs will be optional, and as a bonus come the end of the match if your bot manages to climb to the top, kind of like being on the HDPE was this year. The game itself will be 2v2 and the floor still of carpet. As many of you said, the idea the last few years hasn't been to go high but just speed and strength. Possibly stationary goals of some sort while the robots can score points in another fashion. I also think that the game this year won't be so dependant on having a certain type of drive train, although a really nice drive train always helps . Yeah, who knows? I might be completely wrong but it is really just a guess.
