Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
shot in the dark, but maybe the # 4 is saying that during eliminations alliances will consist of 4 teams that may freely play interchangeabally among themselves throughout elims while qualifications still remain 3v3.
EX: the #1 seed is teams A, B, C, and D. Teams A, B, and C play in round 1, teams A, B, and D play in round 2, and teams B, C, and D play in round 3 |

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
I'm still thinking that maybe the game's task would require the use of 4 robots on an alliance. I don't think that FIRST would have 4 alliances, because it is trying to make games more understandable to outsiders. Tracking 2 teams is easy, tracking 4 teams is harder. 4 alliances could also be hard for the FMS to track.
I like the idea of having alliances switch robots out in between matches. It opens up a lot of new strategy. |

I thought it may be stairs, or different levels. With the levels, it could possibly be four...? Also, I still think they may have different terrains, to go with the whole 20th aniversery deal. Four different terrains perhaps? |

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
At the risk of being further annoying - it could be that congratulations are in order for Bill Miller for celebrating his 5th year with FRC. The fact that the full staff was there to help him celebrate is nice. They used the stairs much as schools do when having teams sit in the stands or stand on risers for yearbook photos.
The blue cake is interesting though. Can you imagine all of their teeth being blue after they ate it? Jane Last edited by JaneYoung : 18-11-2010 at 16:38. |

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
But isn't the cake a lie?

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
The stairs idea is really intriguing especially considering that Pittsburgh Pennsylvania has the most stairs of any city in the US
http://pittsburgh.about.com/od/about...gh/a/steps.htm That would make for a very interesting field... |

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
Robots must place balls in a container at the top of a set of stairs.
Game name: Basket Case. |

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
That actually sounds like an interesting challenge. Maybe a twist could be to have shapes other than balls mixed in, like, white balls, red cones and blue boxes. Quantities of items vary, point values vary. Maybe have the stairs mobile, on wheels with bonus points for having the stairs in a certain area at the end of the game.

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
I would like to see stairs not steps not levels but a real set of stairs at least 4 maybe they will make them at the end of the field like the ramp in aim high and there will be a bonus to climb them
even better than steps would be having to climb a latter! Game name: Latter Clatter Cakes are round "usually" Maybe a round blue ball. Those squishy stress reliever balls are about the size of tenis balls!! Let the countdown begin! 50 days today! I think we may see a hint come out later today!
