I think that we might be able to put the batons onto the less likely side, if not eliminated. That hint seemed a bit too obvious.

Or something to that effect and made mention of how he got an idea from the Richmond Science Museum for 2005's competition.

I remember that snow/freezing rain. I walked to the grocery store in it. I really can't see how that'd give him ideas though, unless its electronic "snow." Maybe they'll stick a transmitter set to throw static into the signal, and you have to program to counteract it. Sand and such would also be very bad for gearboxes, and maybe compreesors (are they filtered?). I can see FIRST being a little sadistic, but that's too much. I think a traction comprimised floor is quite possible though, like the top of the ramp in '03.(I might have the year wrong)
