I just got pwned by Dave...how awesome is that?!

I don't think FIRST would still have a water game though.

I told Dave at IRI 2002 I didn't think FIRST would lower robot weight, either.

I said something like, "It would throw off veteran teams and - for rookies - it's hard enough to meet the 130 lb limit, as it is!"

Dave said, "Hm, interesting ..." and walked away.

Technically, they didn't lower it.

It's actually about 4 odd pounds higher than before, when you consider that a battery weighs ~14 lbs, and the weight limit is 120.

A jello playing field could lead to some interesting drive systems.

Peeling and slip can mean the same thing (peel out on a slick surface?). Maybe everyone peels out and bunches up on the side of the fields?

And I don't remember if this was mentioned; is there ANY possible significance to the fact there are 3 fish, rather than just one?

Hmm..might they bring back 2V2 with 3 robots maximum on any side of the field at any given time? And 1 robot as backbot or so.

I doubt they'd go back to 2v2, or 4 teams a match style.

With the rapid growth of FIRST. 4 teams a match wouldn't be adequate.
