If it's capture the flag then imagine more than three teams to an alliance??

Given that Frank mentioned something about the KOP chassis having basic functionality this year in the blog, I'm guessing something to do with offense/ defense like 2006, only with more obstacles.
Battlebots or capture the flag could be it too.

EDIT: From a team mate: "that font used for stronghold is the lord of the rings movie title font"

Capture the flag confirmed! Or king of the hill.

What do you do with strongholds? Attack them and knock them down. Or defend them and repair them.

In what is one of the shortest turnarounds for a gamepiece in recent memory, totes will be stacked near the driver's station (or above--hence the helmets). Your objective is to knock down your opponent's tower of totes (unless the alliance station wall falls down first) while protecting and building your own. Tallest stack wins.


Edit: Also, it looks like Dozer took a year off to get upgraded. This should be interesting. I REALLY want to see what Disney Imagineering can do with that little guy...

What is on the blueprint that they have?

I feel like that blueprint may have a big hint hidden in it. Or its just a blueprint with strange drawings...

I thought that it was interesting that on the official banner they have on the usfirst website, it also has green & yellow. While it's unlikely, I think it would be cool if there was 4 alliances somehow.

Here's what I thought:

Last year I've read about some alliances leaving one of the alliance members "disabled" so that the other two could score higher by themselves, does "Together" mean that the all the three teams have to do something together to score?

I'm curious about the robot's eyes lighting up in the video, does that mean the field will be dark (or have some huge box inside the field) and the robots need the light to see the field?

"Rally your kingdom" might be related with the teams' relationship (support and stuff) with their community

and I feel weird about the tilted logo too...

Also in that picture, the Red tent has a Blue flag and the Green tent has a Yellow Flag (in the bottom left corner)
