Did anybody notice that Dozer no longer has a "dozer" and now has hands with fingers?

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

Someone might have already said this, but one of the tings that I noticed was once the thunderstorm hit, it got dark and the robots lights turned on...
Playing in the dark? Might be fun...

2016 Game Hint Discussion?

The teaser for the 2016 FRC Game:
usfirst.org/frc2016

This seems like pretty much the most straightforward game hint ever. Usually all the hint gets us is a name, and this tells us the name already! Plus, to kick off some speculation, notice the fact that the "champion" has bumpers. Also, the big tower featured seems like a likely field element to me.

Re: 2016 Game Hint Discussion?

I found the order of the video interesting. The champion (with blue banner), the Stronghold tower, then the red banner.
Could that imply alliances will build the stronghold in auto/early play and end game be attack opposition position? time will tell.

Re: 2016 Game Hint Discussion?

Does anyone else think that the tower may be an objective in the game to come?

Edit: Also 2 flags were shown in the video, so a possibility of CTF?

Thoughts?

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

I definately think the hard emphasis on "together" at the end of the video could mean that it is player vs. Field...

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

A few observations/ponderances (not sure if these have already been stated)

1. There are blue, red, AND yellow flags on the tents. Probably not three alliances, but then what are they?
2. You never see an opposing alliance in the video.
3. If the name really is "Stronghold" this year, that is starkly different than past game names, where the pattern is "adjective noun" (two words). Does this mean big changes?
4. At the end of the video, it says "prepare for the challenge now" keyword being CHALLENGE. Why would the video makers choose this word over "battle" or others, escpecially if the running theory is that this is a vs. game?

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

Some things I've noticed if the blueprint is the field map. (See attachment)

On to the video:
They used the words together and challenger, so most likely the alliance will put forth one bot to do a task the others can't.
Cooperition is in full swing, perhaps in the form of "Killing" the dragon.
First likes throwing things (noodles Frisbees exercise balls moon rocks ect.) there will likely be some form of bombardment.
