That may be because the light source is to the left of the camera, most likely low.

Looks like a flag to me. Or Balls on a Rail.

there seems to be a mismatch in the shadows, the ramp's shadow seems to be to small for where the light source seems to be coming from? but CAD programs put the shadows in for you so I don't know what to make of it all.

Just curious but where did you get those pictures from?

I think we may be going about this wrong. Bill has previously stated that FIRST is striving to get teams at least 10 qualification matches.

"FIRST is striving to ensure all FRC Regional Events have a minimum of 10 qualification rounds." (Bill's Blog September 29th.)

The first hint appears to be a field element with quick-connect couplings for easier, more efficient set up. The second hint is a gate - maybe a third gate or wider gate to make match reset more efficient.

The hint - play faster. We want more matches!

Just a thought.

JK.... Well I hope... they better not do that.

Anyone remember that in 2001 you got a bonus for finishing early?

Three alliances maybe?

Personally I would love to see three alliances of two, but I don't think the hints have foreshadowed this in the least.

Just because the hints don't foreshadow it doesn't mean it's not going to happen!

Even though the robots played on FTP instead of carpet, the field still had a carpet base, which is why the supports still existed. The regolith was simply laid on top of the carpet and taped down.

Im sure we switched from alliances of two to alliances of three for a reason, so I can't see a reason why we would want to go back. Plus, three alliances of two would be confusing to rank and to scout.

I made them in photoshop.

[dodar]

ok so then for what purpose did you make them and post them in this thread? I am just curious to see the relationship from GH#2 and your pictures
