2015 HINT DISCUSSION

[BenBraun3090]

2003 would be a good game to recycle for this year. there hasn't been any manipulation games for any of the current high school FRC participants. so a manipulation game would be a big chang

A Delta is a piece of land shaped like a triangle that is formed when a river splits into smaller rivers before it flows into an ocean. Water game confirmed?

In all seriousness I think the field will be triangular this year and will add a 3rd alliance whether it be 2v2v2 or 3v3v3

FIRST approved this field by andymark for the 2015 game, and it's still our favorite 27'x54'.

I made a list of all the games showed and what were said under the year and title. Over all these are all the ones that had some type of caption to the title.

1992 Maize Craze: Inavgural Competition
1993 Rub Rage: Robots increase in size and go wireless
1996 Hexagon Havoc: Robot weight increase
1999 Double Trouble: Robot Alliances begin
2001 Diabolical Dynamics: Robots race against clock
2003 Stack Attack: Autonamous mode introduced
2005 Trupple Play: 3v3 Introduced
2009 Lunacy Primary field surface isn't carpet for first time since 1992
2013 Ultimate Ascent : Frame perimeter changes

The pattern is the sizes of the robots and the alliances.

I feel this woukd be too far of a stretch, as it would be harder to hold competitions, as well as new fields would have to be created for just this.

and if the field is still 27'x54' then i doubt that we would have 3 alliances

I'd be willing to say the field could go to a "delta" shape and have three alliances, except for the fact that the AndyMark field has been pre-approved for the 2015 game. They just can't go back on that, unless there is an alternate way to build the field (which I don't think is the case). We will stay with two alliances.

How has no one brought up the biggest change!?! No more safety glasses needed while on the field.

[E Dawg]

No game rules will change, but the FRC game will begin to receive "themes" like FLL does - in this case, waste and recycling.

Metahint.

so how would this be a hint to the game itself?

What if by "change", he means money?

We know that the game this year is about recycling?

Is match time becoming one minute? That would certainly be a change.
