2006 game poll #1 (field size)

[David Guzman]

I think it is unlikely FIRST will change the field size just because of cost and the space available in many regionals so it will most likely be about the same size of 2005.

just my $0.02

I voted smaller, and if the option was available I would say it is going to be neither square, nor rectangular.

Just a guess.

Actually, scratch that, I am leaning a lot more toward square, and less toward rectangular.

is that an educated guess or a random one?

Well, after seeing the game hint I'm starting to lean towards a pentagonal field. 5 'bots, 5 corners. I dunno. That's what I would do at least, because it looks more organized and I've got OCD.

Ouch an OCD and being in FIRST ...good luck with that.

I dont think square would be fit...becuase it would probably get shorter not wider and lose alot of play area

Well in 2005 there was 6 'bots and 4 corners, so you never know.
