IR is back defiantly Dave said that in his speech at nationals. IR is going to be big for sure. The Multiplier is back defiantly. It could be like a 3x (maybe). First will not get rid of alliances. There will be two or three team alliances. We wont go back to 1v1v1 because we have so many teams this would simply take too long. First will only increase the number of teams on the field if they were to change it. There is a good possibility that there will be baseballs on the field, and something in the middle of the field that is hard to see.
Some important quotes

Scoring a tripple play or having do arrange something in a way that three out of four things are in a circle is perhaps a possibility. Another gruesome though - perhaps a version of the "Towers of Hanoi" puzzle where alliances have to arrange blue and red (makes purple = amythest) circles on three of four (triple play) sticks.

Intriguing.. I wonder if " between Pi, you and me" has to do with how the IR affects the primary objective of the game. Perhaps 3 comes into play there also.

Rememeber, during last year's Kickoff, when they were talking about the IR beacon's, Dave mentioned that they were stationary, however that had no bearing on THIS year's game.
He implied that there would be moving IR beacons this year.
And they really, really like the autonomous mode stuff. And last year people began to build their strategies around NOT knocking off the ball in autonomous mode. Half the teams I saw didn't do ANYTHING during autonomous mode.
So I bet they're going to make autonomous mode more important this year, somehow. And that involves IR Beacons that are moving.
