Are they taking two robots, or is this a typo?

[Joe J.]

What time do pits open Friday and Saturday morning?

[TNT280Staff]

Typo on the 3656. It's actually 3604 that has entered 2 bots.
Pits will open at 8am Friday and Saturday

What do we call them now? Goon Squad Squared? DoublePlusGoon?

[TNT280Staff]

I think they are going with a simple A and B

[rstrawsi]

Kinda like the names...but is it really "Too Many Goons?" Keeping it simple is probably better though.

[jaunvie]

Are there any rule changes, or field changes we should know about?

[rstrawsi]

I believe the rules and field are the same as they were for the regular season.

Can't be - there's no portcullis, unless FiM is going against FIRST's directive to not use it.

[TNT280Staff]

We will have a meeting with the teams to decide what to use (of existing defenses) to use in place of the portcullis. How did MARC handle it Gary?
