Nuts and bolt-heads are 6 sided, so there will be 6 robots, 3 teams of 2 just to make things more interesting for those not playing. Nuts and bolts are threaded, so there will be a platform in the center of the field which may only be ascended by the sets of curving ramps (like the threaded portion of a bolt) The final portion of my intel is a secret, the price being your life....you have been warned

The chickens are the secret portion of this game, you must collect as many of the live chickens as possible. You get extra points if your robot can hit another robot with one of the rubber chickens that is lying around specifically for that purpose.
I think the chances of the game involving catching live chickens is as likely as another Rocky movie. Since one is coming out, here goes...

This year we'll need to collect live chickens that have been painted 3 different colors (red, white, and, blue). There will be 20 red, 10 white, and 1 blue chicken, worth 5, 10, and 50 points respectively. Catching a chicken in auto mode is worth 2x (making the blue chicken in auto worth 100pts!!!!). In order to score, the chickens must be placed in a coral at the home end of the field.

The following isn't confirmed, but I've heard you may be able to steal chickens from the other team, but that's just a rumor.

They didn't forget the human element, as after the robots play for 2 minutes, the human players take over and play the same game for 1 minute.

I can't wait for the game, or to see Sly Stallone at the kick-off!!!
