pic: 24 Years of Game Pieces

[ctt956]

Guys, I was not around in FIRST 1992-2015 regular season. I have seen some of the game pieces from previous years, some outside of FIRST. Thanks for filling me in on the stuff I missed. I spent a long time researching this, and all of that information isn't clear from Wikipedia articles and older YouTube videos.

Great start on this list!

Two additional columns I would have added are "Scoring" and "Number", which are how you score them (throwing vs placing at a minimum), and how many you are allowed to carry/score at a time.

For shape, I would call 1997 and 2007 "torus" and 2011 "toroids", or torus with an asterisk. 1999 is "disc-like", and 2013 is "disc". For 2005, nothing but "tetra" (or tetrahedron) really says it.

1999 is one of those truly odd pieces. It's a torus, but the center is covered with a thinner material. Kind of like a glazed donut where the glaze hardened on the cooling surface, bridging the hole.

It's also the floppiest game piece FIRST has ever given (yes, including the pool noodles), pun fully intended.

This table is great.
Can you add the floor or barrier conditions?
