Annual Thread: Whats this years game going to be?

[Kyle Fenton]

Here is what I do know for a fact

* The field will not be rectangular (said at team forum)

*The field is flat (said at team forum)

*The game will be simpler for TV viewing (said at team forum)

*FIRST will not be adding anything fancy that will cost them a lot of $$

Here is what I guess.

*Similar to last year, in the respect there is going to be two types of robots, goal robots, and ball robots (balls, floppies, whatever). Both types of robots will have an equal responsibility.

*2v2--Most Definitely, this is always been the preferred type of competition.

*I believe the things you pick up are something standard like a soccer ball (like last year), tennis, basketball, etc, so they can readily purchased anywhere.

*I heard a rumor of getting an updated Operator Interface with a built in antenna, USB ports, and easier default channel switching (no dongle).

*No flexible rules, like tape measures from last year.

* A 3x rule, or something similar, so the idea is to get the closet possible score. FIRST never believed in a shut out kind of game, for the qualifications.

[EDIT] The BOM (Bill of Materials) should be comming soon
