I predict the venue for 2000 National will be the same as this year.
In 2001, they'll move us to a new arena at Wide World of Sports, 40,000
seats with the pit area still in tents.
Nationals will remain open to all for four - five years. From there on,
seeding at Regionals will be the qualifier to attend Nationals.
By then, the game will gain enough national air time to entice
corporations to fund the cost of sending the winners to Nationals.
It's done for other 'fringe' sports - BMX racing, skateboarding,
surfing - to name a few. The winners will lose their team numbers after
regionals and become 'Team Xerox', 'Team AT&T', 'Team Nike', etc.

And for my next prediction, next year's game will be a track meet/obstacle
course with eight to ten robots on the field simultaneously. Obvious winner,
no complicated scoring or explanation to outsiders, multiple tasks, no 9 pm
matches, just one 'stage'. And smaller robots, 50 - 60 lbs. to keep handling
manageable. Solves a multitude of sins. Maybe even a relay-type race to
keep alliances. Sound logical?
