I can't help but see the ring around the diamond plate circle, and realize that it looks like the red/blue rings around the goal openings last year..

Here's what my sisters says (knows about FIRST, but only as that "thing her brother does", and hasn't ever been to a competition):

- it looks like a man hole cover
- shooting.. are you going to be shooting something?
- does it involve water?
- time: 50 seconds.
- tunnels/mazes
- a ramp? I always see ramps with that pattern on it (referring to the diamond plate)
- a course: ramps, corners, etc -- lots to do.

She pretty muched summed this whole thread up in about 5 seconds.
