Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

I'm just excited get there and back without getting lost. The mentor driving us missed the exit a couple years ago by an HOUR. I can't wait to miss six weeks worth of sleep, its overrated anyway. These hints have me thouroughly bamboozeled about what the game could possibly be.

Excited? Of course.

It's just a little bittersweet since it signifies the end of Winter Break and moving back into a more hectic, yet structured school-like environment.

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

I'm kind of sad about tomorrow, I guess I officially become a mentor and not a student. I'll miss it, but hey, it will still be fun to help the students build a robot!

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

Alright, just for kicks, based on the clues, I'm going to post my final prediction.

There will be one large tetrahedron shaped object that will give substantial bonus points to whichever alliance has it on their special place at the end of the match.

Autonomous mode will be in the beginning again.

There will be 4 goals. These goals will have changing red and blue lights indicating which alliance hey count for. Lights will change by time periods, or by robots sending signals to them.

Game Pieces will fit over the goals, not into them.

Other than the large bonus tetra, there will be 3 ways to score. Getting the game piece onto the goal, getting the game piece into a certain area, or positioning your robot on top of a field element at the end of the match.

There will be a slight incline slippery ramp with a sharp vertex located midfield.

One, two, or three pipes will be used in the field's construction.

Re: Is there anyone excited for tomorrow??:)

Bad news: I will sadly not be making it to the local kick-off in Novi due to a very late family gathering for XMAS out in KZoo... (first time in 3 years... grr)

That said, I will probably be thinking about the game tomorrow night when I get home.

Otherwise, I go into build season with very few pre-kickoff conclusions as to what the game will be, just interpretations of the three hints.

Good Luck to everyone, and may it be a great season for all!

-Joe

I have actually enjoyed FIRST significantly more since graduation. You'll see.

Let the stress fest begin.
