Watch how many teams in FTC struggle to drive on a field littered with racquetballs and you'll understand why a field littered with tennis balls could lead to the most boring matches ever.

(Also, what is the relation between this year and tennis balls? Last year was FIRST's 20th Season. Wouldn't Tennis balls have made more sense then?)

This is the 20th FRC game

I don't count 2009. I like to pretend it didn't happen.

Double check your math...Logomotion was the 20th.

[WATERGAMESPECULATION] But it is the 20th anniversary of rug rage, the only "Water game" in FRC history . [/WATERGAMESPECULATION]

Not according to FIRST?

FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) announced today that it has selected St. Louis to host the worldwide robotics Championship beginning in 2011 and continuing through 2013, including the 20th Anniversary year of the organization’s inaugural competition.

Championship Documentation Referring to 2011 as the 20th Anniversary of FRC's inaugural competition. Didn't anyone see all of the 20th Anniversary stuff last year?

Anyway, at least now I know where everyone was getting tennis balls from.
