The FIRST game of 2009 is Lunacy. A challenge in which teams compete in an arena coated with "regolith," while using a special slick tire to simulate the one-sixth gravity of the moon. Teams try to get "moon rocks" into opposing teams trailers. During the final seconds of the game, "empty cells" can be exchanged for "super cells" which have a high point value. Watch the video in our "Links and Media" section for a more in depth description. May the best team win and Good Luck to us all!
