I would bet a case of DEW that the playing field will have bumps to drive over.
What a better way to display the gryo chip that Dean is using in the invention of his.
As for the game, there are balls that stay round. Just not the ones we used last year.
This is about excitement on the field and off. Bright colored balls rolling everywhere, even at the last min. is the excitement. Made for TV excitement.
Alliances ??? It attempts to solve the quanity of teams issue. But Hey, why can’t 4 teams play at one time but be on their own.
What about the choice of alliances being like a tag team match. The first two robots that touch a certain color are partners. Then look at the stragety possibilities.
Comments? Other ideas.
Hey FIRST its not to late to change the game. Or is it?

I have only been in FIRST for, well this will be my 2nd year. SO what dose Maize Craiz 2 mean?
I think there should be blocks, J/K.
I am all up for whatever the game is as long as they don’t have those out of shape balls again. lol

Maize Craze was the first ever First competition. In that competition the objective was to pick tennis balls up in a field full of korn kernels.

i agree on the fields…
and i LIKE the alliance idea… first two to touch the same color are partners… interesting strategic moves there… kinda like pool (billards) with a twist… hmmmm…
i definitely think we’ll be seeming the leftovers and good things of the past 9 years combined in the field and game just in time for FIRST’s 10-year party… 
and it’s never too late to change the game
