Speculating about how the mission models will be used is an entertaining pre-season FLL activity, and maybe will help your team think outside of the box! (http://fllblog.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/mission-prediction-2012/ and http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=19301) Officially, of course, all* will be revealed about the field setup, and the missions and penalties on Challenge release day, August 28. * All except for game updates, of course ;-) Three comments: 1) I haven't received a field kit yet, but from comments I have seen on the FLL forums, I doubt that anything was left out. (http://bsvrobotics.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/senior-solutions-mission-models/) 2) 12 has been the normal number of touch penalty objects for 1 season. I think that it was 8 for a full decade. 3) I had the opportunity to visit Scott Evans this year, but he hadn't quite finalized the Senior Solutions game, so I cannot (and won't!) speak with authority about the missions yet. But I can provide one **WARNING** -- there will be more spaces marked on the mat than there are pairs of dual-lock pieces in the kit, so please follow the Field Setup instructions precisely when they are issued.
