FIRST RPG-style skill-tree

[MrTimKlein]

I saw this on boing boing this morning and thought it would be fun to create for FIRST. Perhaps multiple groups, e.g. game, electrical, programming, mechanical groups merging to a "master roboticist".

That site is blocked at work, so I'll have to look at it later.

I've poked around in game theory with respect to running a FIRST team. It was a fun thought experiment with
Positive resources that had varying levels of diminishing returns (mentor time, funding, quantity of students, student engagement, experience)
Negative resources with scalable impacts (mentor burnout, classroom grades, team dynamics complexity)
Goals (reputation, college attendance rates, business success at competition, robot success at competition)

It would be pretty awesome to also incorporate a Robocraft-esque "build season" with 3v3 competitions of different games in FIRST's history. Short of that, even a card game would allow the mechanics to play out. A card game could even be deployed to the web for easier access.

Ok that is awesome. If you don't play Warcraft or a similar game I think it might be lost on you but it is very cool.

For first it might be interesting to make a useful version of that. Start out and let the kids work their way through the tree and give a certificate when they complete all the talents.

Does this mean if I master the skill tree I get to become Andy Baker?

Where do I start? =D
