Nothing yet.
I'm sure Dave will start unleashing Red Herrings soon.

Vegas is an awesome regional to attend, it has an amazing energy and atmosphere about it. Also, there are tons of things to do after the regional is over for the day. Team 25 had a blast there this past year. I'd definitely recommend it.

YEah the light trick is something big because Dave was "annoyed" when it was leaked at the championship. So it must be real. I mean Dave wouldn't feed me a red herring in person....would he...?

[Josh Murphy]

Yeah Dave Vebrugge talked about it at the Championships, but we knew it was a fluke because he said the same thing at the West Michigan Regional but said "April Fool's" but I would put my money on saying that what was said is a strong possibility for next year but who knows????

[Marcel]

It could be something close to what it really is you know. Like not the light trick exactly but something where three things will be done or something? I don't know school just started 4 straight hours of engineering this year. Electronic Technology, and then Technology studies. It's easy but 4 straight hours?

Anyway we'll see. And as to the Vegas Regionals are going to be awesome. When we went to the long island regionals weren't that spirited you know, Orlando was great as usual. And now for something different.

Agreed. I think the fact that there was air time before you knew if you were going to score added to the excitement. And then there were the bots that were almost dumping in the high goal.

Watch the IRI semi-finals (?) and they might as well have been. Who would have thought that a score of 130+ would have been the losing score.

But yeah, if Dave has been dropping hints, then I would be the last person to catch them. I live by an airport.

I completely agree. 2006 was a lot of fun because of the poofballs flying everywhere. This year, as a prediction, some of the team members are predicting terrain, and some are also predicting moving targets or moving obstacles.

I'm for terrain. It creates a fun challenge for drivetrain designers.

Ramps reward robust robots.

[Justin Montois]

We need something new for terrain, some teams have thier drive down pat that its not challenging. The only downisde is it makes it hard for rookies, but I think we need to lose the carpet.

You might want to qualify that offer with a timeline. Dave will certainly be glad to tell you what next year's game piece is right after it is announced at kick-off, and I'm sure he'd be happy to receive any quantity of KK at the same time. You may have intended to do the deal earlier?
