: Hey! We find out next Saturday when FIRST unveils the game for 2001, in their usual dramatic form, black curtains and all.

: So, any guesses as to how many teams will create an alliance [my guess is that 3 bots will be on the field at all times].

: And what about the object(s) to be fought over? Balls,boxes, irregulars?...... rigid,flexible?..........
: small, medium, large?.............

: what about multipliers?...........
: what about other objects on the field:barriers, obstacles?................will the bots have to climb any ramps or other structures?..........

: How high (or low)will the 'game pieces' need to be placed for points?................

: Will the robots have to be touching or atop each other for points?

: Will the robots need to be off the floor for points?

: Or have Dean, Woodie and company come up with a whole new idea, thus surprising us all?

I heard (i.e., started) a rumor that there will be more emphisis on the programing aspect.

Perhaps a little freestlye program before the judges?

What about the compulsorys (sp?); can your bot do perfect figure 8's?
