I think the extensive PVC indicates that goals similar to 2004 or 2002 will be implemented again, or if not perhaps some sort of fence.

Three, eh? Does this mean more than 2 alliances... or maybe more than 2 teams on an alliance? Hmmm... this all sounds a lot like the "denied" hint...

I'm guessing item #31 is a robot part ... interesting they'd put that as part of the BOM!

And, looking at the magnet ...

"The center is out"

Hmmmm ...

FIRST saw Andy Baker's Survivor video.
We're capturing greased "pigs!" The yellow paint must be for the student human player, to add realism.

Item 14 sticks to item 24

Is not the electrical PVC very rigid? Unlike the white used last year?

the cost is 2.69, the paint is yellow, the glasses were purple.....could this be a sign for cooney robotics?
this field seems like it is going to be pretty complex and quite involved, i can see now why people have been saying that the fields may be smaller. my question is whether this field will make it too hard for rookie teams to work on. oh, and one more, aren't magnets generally considered to be a hazard around electronic components (eg: the controllers, etc)? it seems like an odd piece to implement.
