The first three sections are available now. Section 4 should be coming soon, with the encrypted sections coming out a couple of days before Kickoff. Password released at Kickoff, with the non-encrypted versions later that day.

1) I hazarding a guess that its going to be a game. I'M NOT SURE, but that's what I think.

2) When we get home from Kickoff, we watch the game video some 1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 33 times. We then ask question to each other to help understand the game more. After a we watch a few times, we go into a larger space and we set up the game and we play the game, where students are actually the robots so they get a hands-on experience and interpretation of what the best method of scoring is. Then begins build-season.

Last year, we went to the Georgia Institute of Technology for the local kick-off. From there, we pick up our stuff, read the rules in the car on iphones, and make a bee line back to the school.

This year, the county school board is taking a greater interest in robotics. Along with doubling their current donations, they would like the teams in the area to get together and host a local kick-off. We will still have roughly 3 representatives present at GA Tech to pick up the parts.

1. Not even worth guessing without hint.
2. The small section of our team willing to get up early will go to the local kickoff. On monday, we all start yelling ideas and rough concepts for 10 minutes, then watch the video several times for anyone who hasn't seen it, then go back to blurting out ideas.

1.) The game was brought to me in a dream,... so i just ran with it,. lol

2.) countless hours of brainstorming and vicious prototyping

Our team goes to Kettering to watch the feed. We usually get a room their and brainstorm, take measurements and eat pizza. We then usually go either home or back to my house to go at it again. We have everybody keep a small journal of thoughts that pop into their heads until Monday.

Things are going to be a little different this year. I graduate that day. So who knows what we will do.

As far as the game goes, not even going to try and guess because every year i am way off
