There will be goal(s)!

Due to a rare leak of information, I have it on absolute 100% certainity that there will be goal(s) involved in this year’s game. Since these goals must be built, I can safely assume they will be made from matter, elements found in this universes periodic table of elements.

Wow, the suspense is all over now.:wink:

NEWS BRIEFING!!!

The field will have a FLOOR!!

:rolleyes:

If there’s goals, do that mean there will be balls AGAIN~!? Ahhhhhhhhhh!

They better be goal(s) you can put inflatable baseball bats in.

THIS JUST IN - ROBOTS WILL INDEED BE COMPETING IN THE ANNUAL FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION.

Stay tuned for more crucial information to come.

i think thier might be some air surrounding the playing surface

How sure are you about that? The field may be in a vacuum.

A little birdy told me we would be running on Grey Carpet.

Just got off the phone with someone called Deep Throat, and it seems like this year, shhh!, there will be lighting on the field!!!

What there are going to be ROBOTS in the competition this year!?!?!?!!? :confused:

Please keep in mind it’s only rumor at this point. But a source of mine tells me he did overhear Dean speaking about this aspect of the 2003 competition over lunch at Denny’s. Dean and someone else (another FIRST Staff member?) were sitting across the dining hall, but through the use of the Sonic Ear (As Seen on TV) my source was able to hear their converstation.

I heard the field was one big electromagnet :stuck_out_tongue:

Woodie: “1 2 3 Go!”

Flips on Voltage Source

The goal of the game is to build a robot that wont get magnetized to the field, using a magnetic insulator :-p

anyway

Just beacause there are goals doesnt mean they are balls

I havent heard anything, nor do I know any inside info on this subject, but its a possibility. Heck you could be picking up giant square blocks or pyramid shaped squeezable items.

You must have seen a different rare leak of information than I did. I heard that there would be goals, but no construction would be required. Instead, each kit would include seven “Carter’s Little Goal Pills” and one Alludium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator. Turning the Alludium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator on the pills would cause them to phase shift through a minute wormhole from the X dimension (where all the Alludium Phosdex is kept) to automatically deploy the entire play field, goals, scoring objects, and the necessary artificial snow-making equipment.

But, of course, I could be wrong.

Y = AX^2 + BX + C

Dave what was that little hint at the bottom of your message???
Y = AX^2 + BX + C, you been talking with woodie?

I think Dave might be channeling Marvin the Martian. If he tries to blow up the Earth to get a better view of Venus, then we’ll know for sure.

Oh - and…uh… I’ve heard that traction will be an issue in this year’s game.

Traction… could this mean Ice or something?

**Traction… could this mean Ice or something? **

I highly doubt ice. Ever been to a hockey game?? They would have to keep the competition site that cold throughout the whole competition weekend. Many venues are not equipted to carry air equipment required to freeze the ice, so then they would be forced to buy or rent them and that would cost extra $$$.

Im sure ice is out of the question.

Well, without any traction, our robots wouldn’t move :slight_smile:

(Shy of building flying/floating machines, anyway)

That’s it, we figured it out…flying machines…


Yes, the square WILL go through the circle hole if you push hard enough!

I heard that there may be incidents when operating the “robots” where FRICTION might exist!! Then another person ::wink wink:: told me that the entire thing might be frictionless, so nothing could go anywhere!!! THE POSSIBILITIES!

A truely frictionless surface is virtually impossible.

Besides, if it were frictionless, you could use airjets to move around. (fans, etc).
