Im still waiting for the first time we get to see the human players and the robots on the field at the same time

man vs machine

robots dragging human players across the field by the ankle, into the scoring zone

you get extra points if you stack the players

or if the players stack the robots.

this defeats the purpose of the element of suprise and its detremental to FIRST i dont understand why people if they know anything would want to ruin the game. Just wait until Janurary, it's less than 3 months away and we're still not done the 2003 season.

There is a reason why this is in the RUMOR MILL....

I just want to be VERY clear on that!!

Nothing came from this thread, that anyone else couldn't have guessed with the provided informaton!

edit: And by the way, I was way off last year after a calculated guess as well!!! So I guess as you said, we will just have to wait till January 10th to see if I am correct (or way off again!!!)

While searching for information on something else (that I can't tell you about -heh heh heh!), I came across this item. Only in America can you buy your very own full-size inflatable F-16 aircraft blow-up doll! With matching blow-up Abrahms M1A1 tank inflatables! Finally, a purpose for that air compressor sitting in my garage, relatively unused. Is this a great country or what!!!

p.s. yes, I have already checked, and I can fit one in my back yard... Won't my kids be surprised!!! (and the neighbors even a little more scared)

THIS IS A GREAT COUNTRY! That is so awesome. And they even have Unimogs too. I'll park it in my driveway. I think the tank can sit in my lawn. And the F-16 can hang from the tree in my backyard. How much are these things anyway.

....I am imagining the possibilities for the 2004 Remote Kickoff or the Regional event- I like the inflatable arches, costumes, and mascots.
(must call for pricing!)
Thanks Dave.

So, the real question is, what would the person who designed last year's game be looking for that would lead him to inflatible F-16's? Does this mean that there will be an inflatable component to this year's game? Very interesting.

For an off-the-wall idea, maybe the playing field surface will be one of those moon-walk surfaces.
