Re: 2007 game field...
The Ultimate Challenge for 2007:
Wrest control of the Krispy Kremes from an autonomous placebot (which bears a strange resemblance to Rich Kressly) and put them on your alliance goal. One point is awarded for each donut safely scored.
The goal, a 3 ft inflatable clown fish, is floating in dilute jello contained in a 5 ft diameter kiddie pool.
A large fan blows across the field to make sure the goal is in constant motion, not to mention blowing the powdered sugar off the donuts if not protected. Points are only awarded for intact donuts.
Two alliances face off again this year: the smooth alliance and the uneven alliance. The smooth alliances's side of the the field is all HDPE on a 30 degree slope while the uneven's is covered with the previous three year's practice carpets thrown over the field packing cases.
Autonomous periods occur at random times throughout the 2 minute 17.5 second match. Donuts scored during autonomous periods are worth 4 points.
Defensive strategies may be used but dunking the placebot into the jello is not allowed and will incur a 10 pt penalty.
