I would guess several things led to this "change". First, alliances really became the standard. The size of the field also became the standard rectangle (measuring 54' by 24' for the two-on-two games I believe).

Most importantly was the introduction of the IFI control system. Compared to previous years, it became relatively easy to wire and program your robot. Probably the most notable similarity is the field control system. If you have ever taken the time to look at the blinking lights and the LED displays for the match times, you will see that they have in fact not changed since 2000 (in many cases, it is the same physical hardware).

Basically around that time, the FIRST experience as we know it began: alliances of two (or three I suppose) with about 2 minute matches on the IFI field controller.

Hmmmm......


Makes one wonder if the 'feel' (or field?) will be different this year.

Thank you so much for posting these Andy.

This is such a great piece of history for FIRST and for a lot of the games, it's the only video footage publicly available. You guys have done such an awesome job on your History Project section.

The last big field redesign was for 2005; before that, there were smaller changes from a design that first appeared in 2000. I'm of the persuasion that FIRST will keep this field until they actually go to a water game. It goes together a lot easier than the 2004 field did, as I recall, and it's very easily reconfigured. Even if the GDC went completely bonkers and did 4v4, they'd be covered; just build another player station, and you're good.

Wow! I loved Maize Craze... and if I saw right... was the field a hopper of dry corn? Sweet!

I hope the Discovery channel coverage becomes more widespread... I really enjoyed how they did the canada regional this year... I think it's on par with the ESPN coverage from days of old.

Eh.... 60 was definitely not a kiwi in 02... 60 was the yellow robot in video 11. It's goal grabbing arms could spin the goal once it was lifted.
