-we want evry1 2 bring ther 2015 + 2014 robots
-on each alliance theres 2 recycle rush bots nd 1 ariel assult wit 1 exersize ball
-theres the truss on top of da step
-in teleop u can throw balls acros da field (but not in da last 20 secins)
-if u throw a ball under da truss and hurt another robot that's a big foul nd mayb a red card bcuz we r all friends at robnot rumble
-tems can keep throwin balls back n forth, so timin nd positionin is all strategy now

Do you accept high resolution photos of noodles as registration fee?

what happens for either rookies without a 2014 bot or the hypothetical scenario where you 2014 bot is no longer an Ariel assist bot?

Cheesecake for everyone. In this case a 2014 bot to borrow for the match.

Team 5021: Greyfingergear is possibly interested.

900 is totally down for these rules. Our robot from 2014 can assault some stacks. The havoc that this could cause would be awesome! We love it!

Would floresent tape be added to recyclin bins for 900 to targit?

[hectorcastillo]

I was going to go to Europe this summer, but this sounds way more fun!

No need anymore. Now that we have our new vision code that doesn't rely on pesky tape. (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137021&highlight=jetson)

EDIT: Seriously love these rules. I want to play Angry Birds with robots and smash some piggy tote castles.

[Deathanimator]

Hands down the best post I've read

[Dominick Ferone]

We could get out Ariel assist hot running again, but it may damage some stacks and robots with the power it shoots at.

[Rangel(kf7fdb)]

Do we get points for climbing on top of the truss for the secret endgame?

[Jarren Harkema]

This game would be pure ecstasy for me. I just wanna watch. Can this be real please? Like seriously? Please? Theres no mention of noodles, how are those going to be changed up? (Shredded and melted is a valid answer as far as I'm concerned)

Make confetti out of them? We're all winners in this game.

This is an incredible idea, I'D LOVE to see this happen.

I've seen your 2014 bot from the Rumble in the Roads, and I do have to agree: it will obliterate those stacks.

I don't know about everyone else, but our 2014 robot is no more.

2014 was a year ago, what happened to it? We still have our 2013 robot, and 2014 robot but our 2012 robot was taken apart a long time ago.

We disassemble our robots each year, apparently. I don't think we have room to store it.

To make this announcement even more exciting... (https://youtu.be/PtRewwr59d8?t=1m50s)

We barely have room but somehow we figure out how to keep them.

Some teams have budget and space constraints and can't afford to keep their robots around for more than the season.

[Whippet]

Our 2014 robot was scrapped to build our 2015 robot. Our 2013 robot is only a hollow shell of its former self, which was in turn built from bits and pieces recovered from our 2012 robot. We can't afford, either in terms of space or resources, to keep old robots laying around.

[Shrub]

Our only robot left functional is our 2012 one, which we use for demos. Our 2013 one could be rebuilt, because it's just a test chassis right now, but our 2014 robot was sacrificed to make B.E.N.

I say throwing frisbees or basketballs at the stacks works too.

[BryceKarlins]

This was the first year where we didn't disassemble our previous years bot. We had just about enough resources, and we couldn't reuse the control system anyways! :D

This brings me to a major concern, we picked the worst year to do this because we switched control systems between this season and last season. Either we require all 2014 bots to upgrade, or we create some crazy hybrid FMS to deal with both cRIO and roboRIO protocols concurrently.

Or you don't, and just have people enable the bots manually. Some of the off-season events I've been to do that and it works great.
