The 2010 game will be played using dirigible robots. ( ref) ( ref)
[Note: this will simplify the inspection station. No scale needed -- since robots must be lighter than air! No sizing box either -- robot will be size-checked using a hula hoop and a 5 foot wooden caliper.] 
Field elements will include magnetic docking stations at which robots can load or unload game pieces.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
