Macaroni = pasta... Maybe instead of corn on the field, it's wheat, or hay, or possible a mess of pvc batons (like said many times). Heh, who wouldn't love to have wheat all gnurled up in their drivetrain.

I don't think they will be pool noodles. Those tear apart very easily, can you imagine robot claws digging into those things?

Also, Montana's green heights. Joe Montana and Trent Green both quarterbacks, yeah? Both had some great successes and "heights".

Montana, as stated has a lot of varied terrains and physical elevations. I definitely think there will be a vertical aspect to this game, but, in what way who knows.

Minerals and Mining have been the lead industry in Montana since the 1800's. Lumber, forests, logging shovels... a game piece obsessed with the shovel's show... maybe...some animal in the forest who doesn't want the logger to tear down the lumber... lol.. I don't know where to go with that yet.

Just a few incoherent thoughts as of now.

And yes Freddy204, this hint came directly from the FIRST personnel.

hehe I sure hope no hay or wheat.. heh I won't be able to attend competition hehe and many other people like me with alergies and such :-)
