What do they mean by changing the game all season, from kickoff to championship? Are the rules going to be constantly fluctuating?

Did she just say FIRSTChoice refills at noon? The site says 4:01pm.

Entire field just shown...I wonder what that cylinder is for. Maybe to put game pieces in? or the robot must fit inside it (mini-bot)?

[dubiousSwain]

hmmmmm....

Have they ever shown part of the field before the game reveal?

In 2011, they handed out game pieces to the crowd before revealing the game.

[dubiousSwain]

i think so.

i know they hint at the game pieces every year, but im not sure if they've shown the actual piece before

Team 353's NASA tv feed is really laggy

[Steven Donow]

Good on FIRST putting 1538's Chairman's Video in the Kickoff!

T-30ish minutes until the game is revealed
