So far, the most predictable part of the competition is the drive train. Veteran teams can spend the entire off-season working on perfecting their already functional drivetrain, while rookie teams are strugeling to find a home. FIRST threw a wrench into the mix last year by adding the puck, but even so, drivetrains were pretty easily modified to incorperate that factor. This gave veteran teams the very same advantage over rookies (if a LITTLE less severe). I think FIRST realizes that inequalities such as these make the already challenging role of being a rookie, even more challenging. So to make a way too long story short, I think the floor or the playing feild will have a very prominent third dimention, be it bumps, holes, or steps.

I know my team hasn't had even a second to discuss drivetrains. We're homeless... =)
