What was the big change that they talked about?

In the kickoff web cast, someone, I think it was Dean or Dave, talked about the fact that the game had changed significantly in the last 24 hours. I hope someone else didn't already make this thread, but when I searched i couldn't find it.

What was that change??

I think I know, and I'll post my idea after at least one other person posts theirs.

I think that is crazy, that they would change the game that fast, but hey, they run the show...

I think they were referencing the fact that Microchip allowed FIRST teams to have full access to their C18 compiler.

yeap that was the big change. they were planning on having us using the same one as last year until they decided it would be a good idea to have a newer faster one. I have no complaints.

Re: What was the big change that they talked about?

ok, here's my idea. You all saw dave's animation, right?? at the beginning, it showed a tetra with three humans and three colors that corresponded to the colors of the stick humans. Was it just my eyes, or were they
1. RED
2. BLUE
3. WHITE!!!!!!!!!

This as the colors that first used for when there was three teams. I think that one thing that was a big change, maybe not as last minute as that one, but was that they had decided to do a 2v2v2 game, but they cahnged it to 3v3, which is kinda funny.

I dunno, it was just the message I got from dave's animation

I think that's a definate possibility. If the white team were in the middle on both sides, they'd be across from each other (like in the clue, pie=strait line). Would've been interesting if they'd stuck with that.

So you think they rendered and prepared two animations with two vastly different games and rewrote entire sections of the manual in two days, including new field drawings and specifications, all because in the animation there was a triangle with - gasp - three sides?

Wait, I understand now! Each of the figures in the animation has two arms! Do you follow me? Clearly it means that you work with another team to build your robot throughout the season and at the competition when you drive the robot their driver controls one joystick and yours controls the other! It's so obvious!

Re: What was the big change that they talked about?

So does this mean the 6week period starts over?
Do we have to pay another 6k?
Our team doesn't have 6k, therefor I think first is really screwing us. Who wants to join me in boycotting first and making our own rebotics competition.
I hate people that steal our money

Re: What was the big change that they talked about?

what does that have to do with this thread? I thought this was about the "big change" that FIRST made like 1 day before kickoff.

edit-I'm not making this thread to be funny, i was trying more for intriging (spelling)

Re: What was the big change that they talked about?

Hello,

A couple of the first posts were correct - the change they were referencing was the Microchip compiler announcement. No major change was made in the actual game or field in 2005, let alone 24 hours before the kickoff.

Figured I'd clear that one up so people can concentrate on other rumors, rules, and discussions. Have a great time and good luck to all this season - should be fun!

Re: What was the big change that they talked about?

so, the tri colored tetra had nothing to do with a possible three alliance game?? cuz the animation seems to show otherwise.
