Einstein?

[Sperkowsky]

kind of random but is there any real difference between the Einstein field compared to the other cmp fields.

Not in terms of field dimensions, layout, etc. It's the same type of field that you're playing on right now. They usually bring in a fresh field (new carpet and game pieces) for Einstein so it's nicer for the teams that are playing there, but since Archimedes and Tesla are being 'recycled' this year into the two Einstein fields, it might just be fresh game pieces.

The Einstein "show" is also very different. The matches are the same (except for the whole world quarterfinalist* alliances thing), but they're interspersed with major guest speakers, World Chairman's award/etc, FLL Champion, and live music like will.i.am. Though I'm not sure about [edit]FTC/J[/edit]FLL this year with them in the hotels; that'd be too bad.


*pre-2015, Einstein was only semifinals and finals.

Is this confirmed? I thought they were back in the Conference Center.

Sorry, JFLL at least is moved; my bad. And FTC, yeah? Point being this may or may not affect the Einstein show, which is essentially closing ceremonies not just for FRC World Championships, but the entire FIRST season.
