Go to Post We all need to keep things in perspective. When you look back at the entire 2005 FIRST season, is your entire experience defined by the presence of a little cloth flag on the play field? - dlavery [more]

Re: Anybdy like the game?

yes but your shooter could not leave the starting envelope, and any appendage to appendage contact was a penalty.

I think what I was meaning to say is in 2006 you were more limited to expansion than in previous years.

Re: Anybdy like the game?

And lets not forget that only the signal light, not the CPU need to be visible from 3' in front of the robot in its starting position. That is a nice change.

And the flag is gone, too... it actually was a bit of a pain to figure out how to mount it and was a limiting factor on design (at least our designs) the last three years. Not a major, factor, perhaps, but a real one.

But most of all, I like the fact that having a slippery playing surface forces a paradigm shift on all the teams' drivetrain designs. You can bet everyone is re-thinking their robot literally from the ground up this year!
