2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

[Dan Richardson]

Diamond Plate and 5 Hrmmm. Well I don't forsee water game, its still out of reach for most FIRST Venues, even in an instance of a kiddy pool I really think that FIRST will out step their realm with one.

My first instinct was inflatable clowns and 5 of them beating on the robots at all times, but then I thought, thats probably not right.

But what I did think was running off the Baseball Idea. Within the diamond, you have 6 players involved. ( this does not include the outfield and the pitcher. ) You have the batter, 4 infielders and the catcher. 1 of these 6 players at all times stands at the plate, if the batter is not at the plate the game doesn't continue. Maybe this year it is a 3v3 game ( or some combination of such ) and 1 team almost be on the plate for the game to continue. That would be interesting, and I could see lots of strategy. Or maybe the home plate is a multiplier, every 15 seconds on the plate doubles a teams score.

Very interesting stuff tho, its the first time I remember we got a picture, we'll see I'm sure there will be some more accurate and more clever guesses than mine in this thread.
