Hey! We find out next Saturday when FIRST unveils the game for 2001, in their usual dramatic form, black curtains and all.

So, any guesses as to how many teams will create an alliance [my guess is that 3 bots will be on the field at all times].

And what about the object(s) to be fought over? Balls,boxes, irregulars?...... rigid,flexible?..........
small, medium, large?.............

what about multipliers?...........
what about other objects on the field:barriers, obstacles?................will the bots have to climb any ramps or other structures?..........

How high (or low)will the 'game pieces' need to be placed for points?................

Will the robots have to be touching or atop each other for points?

Will the robots need to be off the floor for points?

Or have Dean, Woodie and company come up with a whole new idea, thus surprising us all?
