I have been thinking about what this years game will be, and I haven't decided exactly what it will be so I won't guess. I guessed last year and i was quite wrong. But there have been some main characteristics that have held true over tha past few years.

1. Robots start at point X, from there they move to point Y which is where the task is accomplished be it the moveable goals(2002), the bridge(2001) or the stationary goals(2000). Point Y is typically in the middle section of the field. From there, they must end the match at a certain point, Whether it be point Z or original point X, they must finish the match there.

2. There have been, for the most part, two types of robots per year.

*Power Robots, ie, hanging robots(2000), Balancing Robots(2001), and Goal Robots(2002)

*Finesse Robots, ie Ball Robots(2000), Big Ball Robots(2001), Ball Bots(2002)

As you can see FIRST does not want the same thing every year, but they do like some form of consistency in the games from year to year.
