2010 Game Hint #2 and 2009 Field Overlay

[Elgin Clock]

There is another even wilder possibility I would like to throw in here.

3 gates on one long side of the field directly across from 3 drivers stations on the other long side.
Then we could have nothing at all (or something REALLY BIG) on the ends of the field where the players stations used to be!

I thought about that concept last night for a while actually, & tried to reason with myself why it wouldn't work, but the only thing I could think of was a lack of an even distribution of weight among the field sides.

As it stands now, the ends (players stations) are equal weight, and the sides (gates & rails) are equal weight & form a nice line of symmetry down each "center line" of the field.

But in the future...?
