[FTC]: Thoughts on new FTC game?

[Troubled]

So what do the people who have seen the game think? My first reaction was that it is ok, but there are some things I really don't like much:

- Hockey Pucks are ok, kind of depends on how much FIRST charges us for a set, I hope it's not too expense to get a full set of game pucks.
- the field size didn't change from the vex fields, so that's good. But does anyone know how much a field costs or where we get it from?
- the inside of the field worries me. The different square sections of different materials in the four quadrants of the field are all short and don't seem that difficult, but it seems like there is a huge amount of construction time and cost required to build this field. I assume FIRST will be selling the field structures and goals, but does anyone know how much it is and where we get it?
- I don't understand having 1 team on each alliance starting on the field and 1 team on each alliance starting on a platform off the field floor in autonomous. I'm not sure how they decide which team starts where, but my guess is that most teams are going to want to start on the floor.
- I get that the sqaure, triangle, circle center goal structure is for the FIRST logo, but it sure seems like that is forced into the game. I hope it doesn't make it too hard or expensive to buy or build.
- those are my first thoughts. I might like it more after we review it on Monday, but right now I'm a little disappointed. It thought it would be a little more challenging with the new kits but also a little cheaper to do, but it looks like this might cost us a lot of money to play.
