well, using hints and observations from this year, heres some stuff i think next years game will involve.

Remember how Dave said that we need to get used to the IR sensors and learn how to use them? Also look at how FIRST has finally introduced an automated field.

Perhaps next year, there might be an active field element. In other words, something that moves around the field on it's own power, controlled by the arena controllers, like the EDU-RCs that controlled the bal dumps this year.

Why do I think this? IR is the only way (in FIRST at least) to track a moving target. Yuo can't track a line, wall, or use dead reckoning to find something constanly changing position.

I think an active field element would make next years game so awesome.

I also like the idea of frisbees.

another thing to ponder over. This years game uses elements of the past 5 or 6 games. Perhaps this was intentional, building up to something next year that is completely different using nothing any of us have ever seen in a FIRST game before.
