There will be goal(s)!

Straight from the west coast regional director Jason Morrella himself:

There will be no more than 10 goals in the game
There is no scoring in this year's game
Human players will be wearing retro-reflecting tape

Truth or not? Yolu be the judge...

I had heard a slight variant of that. I heard that Jason would be wrapped in retroreflectve tape, and teams could not score until they had their robots drop him into the goal at least 10 times.

I wonder if you get double points if you drop him on his head?

I bet if we feed him enough krispy cream donuts we will get a multiplier or some sort. Even better, if we drop him upside down into a goal full of donuts, he get to try fishing out donuts during the 10 times we drop him in.

Hmm... 10 seems to be the magic number...

Sweet! This years game according to Jason (via Ken), indicates that the game is a DECATHLON (10 events or GOALS to achieve), and the winner is the team that accumulates the most points from participating in those ten events. Just think, you'll need speed for the 10 meter race, power for the weight lifting/tractor pull, the ability to throw a javelin and shot putt. Etc, etc, etc....
Thus no scoring, as we know it and it also supports the announcement by FIRST that there will be many format changes! NO ALLIANCES, 10 goals, and the parabola/projectile formula (hint) is tied into the event by the ability to throw a nerf javelin! Whew... that's alot to think about!
