2015 HINT DISCUSSION

[Poseidon5817]

I was just going to point that out. Why use that wording? None of the other captions say FIRST TIME or SINCE 1992. May I point out that the part about the carpet field is in section 2.2.1 of the 2014 manual. He was on the second page, and then he seems to put back a page...

And on that note, has anyone noticed the white floor at the very end of the video?

in 2005, they introduced 3v3. with the way the program is growing, i would not be at all surprised if they change it so alliances now have 4 teams each...4v4??? yikes.

That could happen, what with alliances having 4 teams and all at nationals.

Also, looking at old videos on youtube for those years, it looks like 1999 is wrong based off of this video:

1999 is DEFINITELY wrong now you mention it. That year was floppies (Bean bag discs), not toruses. Why would FIRST use the wrong footage? Just a mistake, or deliberate?

I couldn't see them doing that on accident. I think you may be onto something.

I can. I guess I need new glasses.

No, can you get a screen shot of this? I didn't think they ever showed the floor at the end.

Where do you think the 3x3x60 box comes into this. Sorry if this is a repeat, but I don't want read through 11 pages to see if this repeat. If it is then I am sorry and can you tell me what page to look on for info regarding this topic.

The game pieces are sheets of paper and the goals are recycling bins.

In order to be able to see the white floor, you need to go to the youtube link at the beginning of the thread, full screen it, and run it at 0.25x speed. You can't see it if the scrolling bar with the current time is open. It is between the recycling bin and him at the very end.

So does that mean the floppies will return as the game piece? How can FIRST just mess up and not show 1999.

I don't think they will recycle just one thing and Franks mention of "slowing down" still has me thinking Regolith.

SO

stacking floppies in a movable goal on Regolith sure seems like stacking pizza topping while moving really slow.

[Abhishek R]

I guess someone got fed up with the paper airplanes at Championships and decided to do something about it.

[runneals]

Has anyone mentioned anything about the build season? Maybe the rules around it will change? Maybe split in half?

I think Auton at the end game will be highly likely

I still don't see it...

They seem normal, also I do not see a white floor at the end.

I think having auto mode at the end of a match would be awesome! How many times when teams are setting up their robots for auto mode do humans actually aim the robots at a stationary target. Seriously I don't think half of teams would score in auto-mode if they couldn't go position their robot perfectly before hand. What if the match is exactly opposite of literally every other auto-enabled year.
2 minutes teleop followed by 10-20 seconds of an auto-mode end game.
