This year's game is also going to double its fun because it will lower the cost of using the facilities at regionals. The field will be standard size, and will be half carpet, half wood. There will be some office furniture made of plywood, carpeting, and strengthening 2x4s. There will also be two roll around office chairs for the referees! Dirt and various messes will be put on the floor and the robot will try to get the most dirt and clean up the most messes, and then polish the wood floor. After each day is over, teams will volunteer their robot to clean the facilities, thus taking away the need for the facility to bring in a bunch of extra janitors.
After the regionals and nationals, teams could sell their robots to big companies where the robots would autonomously assist the janitors.

last year I wanted to electrically charge our frame, then cover the whole bot in tape and say it was for insulating purposes. Then I settled down and read the rule book. - russell [more]
