I was sort of hoping the "Pasta", for lack of a better name. would be metal, it would make it much easier for manipulating the game peices. Provided we'll have to build something or put them in a goal a certain way.

1. Uneven Field: it seems the general consensus is that we won't be having a flat field this year

2. CMUcam: from other threads and the clue, it seems the CMUcam is back, by popular (or unpopular) demand

3. Odd-shaped scoring objects: looks like no 4-square balls this time. batons, footballs and pool noodles are the favorites

That's all that i'm relatively confident about...anyone else with me?
Thats about all i have come up with, Though I wish people would read the entire thread, instead of posting things over and over again. (Not referring to you Nuttyman54). As far as the game pieces are concerned, I'm almost positive its going to a baton of some type. The main reason is that one of Dave's "Hints" Included a baton. Though I doubt we are going to have an incline hill though as far as the uneven field is concerned. Again the reason for my thinking, is the feasibility of it. Its a lot harder to have an inclined plane, than just a box on a floor. So most likely, it wont be a drastic height differentiation on the field.

I don't think there is anything we have missed.
