Regarding the Field:

FIRST isn't going to change ANYTHING about the size/dimetions of the field. They are too cheap/ Its too expencive to make new fields

Maybe your robot will have to pass the footballs throught the hoops hense the parabola formula.... just a thought

Heh heh heh. Care to bet on that?

Go to Brandon's new Ventures System, and in a week we will see who is right and how many people from this thread will have to eat their words.

from the article with the hint
"y = ax(2) + bx + c," he said solemnly, before adding with a chuckle, "Just don't ask me about the rumors about the gerbils and the thousand pounds of Jello."
Notice that the ax(2) is in a quote--I'm sure he didn't actually say "a x open-parenthesis 2 close-parenthesis plus...." He probably said "a x squared plus b x...."

The person who transcribed the quote just didn't use "^" to signify the exponent.

***
And, in response to someone or other...the quadratic equation is not a fundamental equation in the field of trigonometry.

Yeah, the roots are the x-intercepts, but the floor isn't necessarily the x-axis. he was just saying it would be funny if you had subscores A,B,C and your total score was a solution to Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0.

Would be easier to score than the 2001 game, I guess

I've also noticed that folks are assuming that it necessarily describes a parabola (it doesn't have to) .

Those fields were nice. They just drop together, almost literally.

Remember, should FIRST decide to use a different shape this season, the doesn't mean they can't use the rectangle again in the future. I think they'd have the foresight to keep them lying around for a few years.

Think about it, even. If they continue changing the shape and building semi-permanent field kits for each shape, after a few years, they'd have have a whole host of ready-to-go field arrangements. Then, you'd never be able to guess which they'll use

Smile Field Layout

No one for sure knows what the field will end up looking like this year except a precious few at FIRST. But being involved in a few of the FIRST follow-ups over the past few years here are my thoughts.

The field will be a rectangle 24' by 48'
Allows for good visibility for teams and spectators

The field will have four team/s locations Allowing for easy load in and out of competing teams and robots.

What will change each year is what and how the team interact with, within that 24' by 48' area.

Maintaining a constant perimeter structure reduces costs for FIRST and those teams building fields. Reducing cost while still providing the opportunity for substantial interior field changes and robot interaction.
