[FTC]: Relic Recovery Teaser

“Your quest, should you choose to accept it, will lead you to recover lost relics and return them to their rightful place in history.” https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/ftc/game-and-season

Kickoff on September 9, 2017

Pretty neat seeing themed games spreading into the FTC realm… after seeing FRC’s Steamworks and Stronghold I’m interested to see how they will bring themed games to the smaller scale (and hopefully in a not too cringeworthy way either).

EDIT: Just noticed that the “relic” in the teaser looks suspiciously like the figurines used in RES-Q:

So… Not a water game :frowning:

So I’m guessing those hanging dudes from 2016 are going to be back.

Looks like it. It’ll probably be the end of those beacons as well, thankfully.

According to this tweet, the beacons are no more… https://twitter.com/ms_ftc/status/864593913037950976

I wonder how many prior year game pieces will be re-used?

AndyMark just can’t get rid of the 2014 golf balls. I bet they’ll be coming back so they can burn off the stock that requires them to sell balls in a 200 pack.

All it says is that next game (2017-2018) won’t use them.
In my opinion, challenge of beacon was good, but it was poorly designed and way too expensive.
