First Official 2012 Game Hint
This was just posted on Bill's Blog:
Good Morning Teams, Rockwell Automation has again agreed to generously donate components we need for the 2012 FRC season. Check it out. You may find it very interesting. ![]() Taken From - http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2011...me-hint-1.html Thoughts? Last edited by Zstack836 : 02-12-2011 at 09:53. |

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
I can see a lot of that is stuff that is always on the field. Would anyone who knows the field in detail be kind enough to separate the new from the old?

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
My thoughts:
-It's getting close to kickoff! -This list will be analized extensively by the CD comminity. -There will 1001 ideas on how the items will be used on the playing field. One observation: They are not waterproof, so no watergame this year ![]() |

Would equate to 10-12 per field, depending on how many spares kept on hand. Brings back memories of the good 'ol days of jamming goals with balls... ![]() |

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
If I remember correctly there are amber lights at the bottom of all the team stack lights, they are just never turned on. I say that because of their outside color, I haven't actually checked the inside of the amber section. Although, the differences in quantity seem to say that they are not for the same purpose. Stacklights seem to break pretty easily though, I can't imagine they would have them where the robot could hit it.

Lights are tricky... they could be an integral part of the game (poor example: king of the hill! race to the lit-up amber section!), or FIRST could have decided to turn on some amber lights during the end-game period to make it more obvious to everyone watching. |

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
The quantities of each item are also quite interesting...

500 Sensors equates to ~26 per field, which isn't all that many. Edit, just reread the list, and it's only 250 complete counter assemblies (13 per field). One sensor sends an IR beam and the other receives it. Last edited by thefro526 : 02-12-2011 at 10:26. |
