In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure it's just a picture. Move on folks, nothing to see here.

Re: FRC Blogged - Photo from Kickoff Filming

Look at the way they're positioned, Don is sitting, both feet on the rung of the chair, Woody, sitting, with one foot off and one foot on, and Dean standing, not sitting, with both feet on the floor.

Something to do with the end game?!? Climbing a stepped field element?!?!

Then I saw the water bottles and realized it's obviously a water game....right....right?

Re: FRC Blogged - Photo from Kickoff Filming

*Sigh* I still can't believe everyone is dissecting this for a game hint. I'm pretty sure it's literally just a teaser for kick-off.

With that said, I'm really interested in the reasons for shooting in front of a green screen and what the end results will look like. I wish kick-off was still live, but I hope at least since it is not anymore, FIRST will do some more creative things with the broadcast.

This. I agree I wish it was still live. I always wanted to attend the live kickoff.

There was no 2009. There wasn't a competition, there were no regionals, and we definitely did not build a robot.

I share your hare of regolith but I think the trailers were fun and wouldn't mind a similar thing.

I thought that the 'actors' stiffly grasping the rock-climbing wall last year were hilarious. More creative, yes please.

Return of Kinect. With an API.

Or a new KoP webcamera that took this photo?

Re: FRC Blogged - Photo from Kickoff Filming

I liked the kickoff better when it was live. It just seemed much more personal. Granted it was nice that it was shorter last year, but there was no suspense, no build up to the game unveiling (in fact I think most people at the kickoff I was at were shocked and scrambled to turn their cameras on when the animation started).

Shortening the old kickoff style (keeping it to like an hour max) would have been much better IMO than cutting it down to what they did.
