It is. There were 6" balls filled with water worth 1 point a piece, and 13" balls worth 5 points a piece. Each team had it's own PVC goal corral. The 6" balls could be rolled in but the 13" balls were requiring to be lifted in. It's also worth noting that robots were smaller back then, with maximum dimensions of a 3 foot cube (which is very difficult to fit through a regulation size door ).

I looked this stuff up on first-a-holics after I wrote this post and found it all to be correct (I wasn't even 2 when this game was played)...

Remember guys, in order to figure out the game, look at what Grady said three years prior.

Re: 2007's game

Alright, I looked at the thread Ian posted (I am pretty sure I had seen it before) but between this post and this one they basically created aim high

So my call for 2009 is that the game is coming straight from here

Dunno. Last year's game also came from here. (Billfred's post) I'd guess that the mailboxes are a red herring and we will see something from the Game Design threads for 2007. Then again, who knows?

On a side note, what hints has Lavery posted lately? Remember, they could be anywhere-- and two of last year's implied that Billfred was on the design committee.
