pic: 24 Years of Game Pieces

Great start on this list!

Two additional columns I would have added are "Scoring" and "Number", which are how you score them (throwing vs placing at a minimum), and how many you are allowed to carry/score at a time.

For shape, I would call 1997 and 2007 "torus" and 2011 "toroids", or torus with an asterisk. 1999 is "disc-like", and 2013 is "disc". For 2005, nothing but "tetra" (or tetrahedron) really says it.

This table is great.
Can you add the floor or barrier conditions?

1999 is one of those truly odd pieces. It's a torus, but the center is covered with a thinner material. Kind of like a glazed donut where the glaze hardened on the cooling surface, bridging the hole.

It's also the floppiest game piece FIRST has ever given (yes, including the pool noodles), pun fully intended.

I thought we were going to see a picture of someone's actual collection of game pieces. Shucks.

Does FIRST have any pictures of ALL of the game pieces somewhere? FIRST should open up a literal Hall of Fame at HQ with all the game pieces, old field elements, maybe get some World Champions to donate their robots from the year they won, and line the hall with all the Hall of Fame Blue Banners. Now THAT would be a field trip I could enjoy.

We moved out of our old build facility and had game pieces from every game since the team first competed in 2000 including fresh frisbees, basketballs, and inner tubes.

I had something very similar to this I shared with the team but it also included goals, field topography, and other game elements besides the scoring pieces. There is a certain trend the games all follow to help you predict minor aspects of the next game.
