Re: Daves Game Hint
After reading Bill's Blog today and in his past posts he talks about the current field being developed as the "Delta" field this could simply be the forth iteration of the FIRST field with cost savings features added for the expanded number of fields OR it could also mean that the field/field elements will change from match to match or even during the match.
Another possible hint came when he talked about the use of the classmate PC this year as the driver's station, in the blog he said they played some matches, changing sides, and changing alliances with out problems this could mean that alliances will be changing throughout the course of the match.
the Dartfish software that is being tested for this year is used to overlay video replays of multiple actions, it's been used with '06 robots shotting at the goal and I have also seen it used in air racing to compare the path each plane took around the course. This also hints at the changing field, the Dartfish replay would allow everyone to see the robots doing their tasks as the field changes.
