2010 Game Hint #2

[jamie_1930]

A lot of people have been saying that there won't be regolith this year, and I was myself, but I'm starting to miss it already. With the regolith we didn't have to worry about pinning or ramming penalties and it gave us a chance to really see how robust are robots are.

Also thinking about it now, I know we don't see any regolith in the picture, but would FIRST really get all new flooring for the fields costing them money as well as every team, and then never use it again? I don't think regolith is gone and maybe it won't cover the entire field like it did last year, but it will probably be on some sections of the field. Like how last year for FTC there were certain panels with different properities, like bumpy surfaces and rollers.

Lastly when we're thinking about what the game will be this year don't think there will be some sigh of relief and the game will be easier than last year. That's not why we're in this competition, we're here to challenge ourselves with new and harder problems, and thankfully FIRST has been keeping up with that and challenging us every year.
