I dont want to go to in depth... because i will be living on the boards for the next couple months anyways.

Here is my official pre-kick off guess.

# of teams - 3 [or 6 if they HAVE adjusted the # of channels. Queueing will be hell though.]
shape of field - Hexagon
alliances - none [purple = red+blue so maybe similar to 2001 when we had to all work together to beat the clock.] OR [Red+Blue+Purple where there are three teams and three "alliances" playing for themselves.]
field elements - Pyramid of some sort?
manipulatives - baseballs [or perhaps the return of the floppy donut things.]

----------------------------------------------------------
Maybe the field is divided into three, where everyone looks through the "rose-tinted glasses" [player station glass]and only sees one side of the center pyramid. which might be possible due to the field set-up and Pyramid placement.

hahaha yeah tj never got candy because we are ALWAYS late... hahaha... I don't think we will all be working together though... I don't think FIRST will bring that back... If I can remember correctly it didn't go too well or atleast at the competitions I was at... Plus its so much more exciting to see robots working against each other...
