Well as I remember hearing it...
Same Innovation First boxes as last year (i.e 4 comp channels)

And in terms of speed of the game it almost has to be 2 against 2 (keeping in mind the 51 spots to go to Florida equate to 3 teams per regional (2 plus a spare))
So I would bet upwards of 5, no 6 dimes on a 2 on 2 competition.
What I won't bet on is whether or not we will be able to interact with the opposing teams (picture a 3 foot high railing running the length of the field which we are not allowed to cross)
Actually I considered this for a while on my last long drive (15 hours plus)
Using the 3 foot barrier as a support for a goal like in 2000. where we can take balls out of an opponants goals as well as feed our own. Without the interaction (read *hitting*) that 2 on 2 seems to breed.
I liked 4 teams working together because it allowed our team to build a robot that didn't have to be so bullet proof. But I look forward to head to head action again.

Well thats all from me
Eric
