Method and system for creating coopertition

Filed 7/22/04...sound familar, anyone?
Yes.. and it's basically a play by play of the 2003 game, and it's structure, with the same CAD drawings we get from FIRST themselves submitted as the supplemental images, as well as the picture of the tournament structure

You gotta DL the tiff viewer plug-in to see the images though.

I think this is a new accomplishment. Now you can patent games.
Nice...

Btw, Milton-Bradley has been doing this for years, so I have no clue why this comes as a shock to me, but, oh well.
