The Field will be played on the traditional carpeted surface with the possibility of steps / ramps w/ chin up bars like in 2004 these items will either have the surface of aluminum or lexan. Scoring Objects will most likely be poof balls only because its fun to see a poof ball get ripped to shreds =). I'm still working of the object of the game and how long the match will be.

I wish we could prep for the Nationals, hopefully we will be next year.
We haven't had them for 2 years now, so FIRST is going to use some kind of PVC goals for balls again next year. If FIRST let teams control offense/defense, then teams should both be on offense normally, but they can drive one of their allinace robots onto a pressure pad to put the opposing team on defense. To ensure a 3 on 2 though, the other team only remains on defense while that robot remains on the pressure pad. The other alliance can also reduce the match to a 2 on 2 with both teams on defense by putting one of their own robots on their own pressure pad, and then the 2 remaining robots on each team will need to push the opposing robot off the pressure pad so they can get back on offense.
These pressure pads would be the top of the side ramps discussed in the bridge game above. I have no idea where the goals go.
