These look pretty similar to the beta versions tested at SCRIW in 2022

What are those two poles in the reflection on the driver station wall? Also if he is on the field that means there is nothing in front of at least one of the driver stations.

Probably the legs of the person holding the camera…
Also this field is probably not fully built for crescendo. I imagine they don’t need that for most FMS development.

Assuming this isn’t just random to throw us off 12/18 could be an RP requirement. Maybe we have to score 18 game pieces for an RP?

Guessing something similar
12/18 is an rp requirement
B102 R108 is the live score

Having live score and RP progress displayed in a readable format in every driver station will be a lifesaver.

I’m pretty sure this is a score/RP breakdown for Charged Up. (12/18 = 4/6 links required for link RP) I highly doubt that they would put something this revealing into a teaser.

Assuming he’s standing on the completed, official field, there’s nothing in front of the driver stations. Which points to some scoring structure in the middle.

I raise you a 2014, no points until that sucker cleared the drivers heads :wink:

Is the 12/18 something teams saw at the 2022 beta test of these signs? Definitely lines up with the 6-link requirement.

I like the additional data being presented through the signs, big plus (once you learn to decode them). Big props to the company responsible!
As for the timer, might be little bit easier for the drive team if it was all in seconds.

Are you telling me you don’t prefer figuring out the blink codes of a large light strip?

But what about the IP addresses??

18

Could just be 11.XX.XX.YY

19

Or it’s fine up to 10.255.99.YY, so we’re good until team #25599 if I’m not wrong.

10.XXX.XX.YY would work, until we reach team 25600. The 10.0.0.0/8 (10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255) IP address range is specifically reserved for private IP addresses, which is likely why FIRST uses IP addresses starting with 10.
