And as for the field that would be an interesting idea for a field and I'm not gonna say the GDC will count that out, so yes morphed surfaces would make it challenging.
Also if what I've heard is true they found water on the moon so ice may be within the means of terrain and what best represents ice but the regolith from last year?
At River Rage in Manchester NH we beta tested netbooks that are comming in the kit... maybe we are controlling off of those? there was a FIRST program installed on them that was used as the control system instead of that blue box and the wireless router. Also i think stairs and many little objects like tennisballs or foam hockey pucks.
