2006 Game - whats on the field?

Well after some 30 odd pages on the official game hint plus several other threads quite a few ideas have been put forth. However since for politeness's sake people normally don't throw in posts that just say "I agree" it is hard to get an idea of what your average person thinks of the ideas...so...which ideas do you think are right?

I'm thinking the heavily obstructed field will be this years challange to overcome.

Re: 2006 Game - whats on the field?

errm, by Vision Camera do you mean that there's a camera ON the field (ie, on a game piece, etc.) or that we'll have them again for robot use this year (ala the 2005 autonomous)?

P.S.
Looking for a team to mentor in the Worcester Massachusetts area - hopefully within walking distance of WPI.
I'm guessing you don't want to be on team 190?

Re: 2006 Game - whats on the field?

yeah "vision camera" was suppose to be more in the "kit of parts" than as a field component...the idea was more "what's involved" than anything else

And yes I'd like to work for a smaller team...although in honesty I should change that as that note is currently out of date...

Re: 2006 Game - whats on the field?

Whatever it is, i hope it's interesting and original, like last year's tetra game, instead of some sort of chimera love-child of several previous games, like 2004. That game was like one of those TV flashback episodes where they string together little clips from all the previous shows to get out of writing a new episode.
