Recycle bins, everyone is is trying to be greener.

Pool noodles are a nod to next years water game.

Wasn't it obvious?

You guys are missing a key connection for this conspiracy theory. Your shooter on the grassy knoll.

And I think if you think really hard enough you will come to the thought that 2012 can be interpreted to relate the game to a professional sport... I haven't been able to pick out exactly which one yet

Re: FRC 2015 Conspiracy?

Just to add to the conspiracy (though this has nothing to do with warehouses) I think this game is meant to show us that litter is a major pain. Just think about how it plays into the game. Litter is hard to get rid of (throw to the other side of the field) and its a mess that no one wants to deal with. Just think about how hard it is to drive over litter and traverse the field when human players start throwing it everywhere. Basically this game is trying to make us recycle or at least not litter. Litter isn't so much of a pain when it is scored in the recycling bins or in the landfill zone.

Re: FRC 2015 Conspiracy?

I suppose that one could conclude that next year's game will be aquatic, so that the winning FRC design elements can be incorporated into Amazon's highly speculated submarine delivery drones.

Re: FRC 2015 Conspiracy?

A warehouse game is very practical, and I believe that practical (vice sports) games are intentionally included at least once every four years. See the last paragraph of my post on another thread.

Honestly though, FIRST is so much fun that even it it is a giant free labor secret recruitment scheme (not that it is) i probably wouldnt mind
