I think during kickoff it might give people an opportunity to find/go to the regionals/districts in their area~

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

Have you submitted the doodle to google yet? What was their response?

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

I have not yet... I've been meaning to clean it up a little first, but haven't had time... AP exams are killer...but the're over now! I'll have an update for you all soon :D

Imagine if the robot could be driven across the screen!

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

Google just posted the result of their doodle competition among school kids. There are 400 finalists posted state-by-state and by age groupings. I mention this because it is evident that google is receptive to suggestion about the doodles. Keep at it. Looking for a kickoff display in 2013!

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

Ah, school's finally out so I had the time to concentrate on drawing :D :D
So here's what I have right now...



Wheels are a pain to draw... lol. All of these are based off of stuff I could find off of CD and Google Images, or in 2012's case, robots who were at WIWI XD

Oh...except the minibot; I couldn't find any clear pictures so I just took one from my team xD

And yeah, I scrapped trying to draw 2009's bot for the L... first, I had trouble finding pictures on Google Images (I haven't looked here on CD...That idea came to me later..haha) and I felt like if I drew a Lunacy bot I should add the trailer, which wouldn't fit...

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

When do you submit to Google?

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

I guess I could do it now... though I'm still tweaking little things because it's fun lol :)

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

it looks really awesome! But I think you'd have to submit it separately from the doodle 4 google competition, since that has a prompt and you can't use copyrighted material in it. Does google have another way to submit or are you going to try to get in touch with them?

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

Yeah, you can send suggestions to them...there's some email address you send stuff to.

Talking to a member on my team who thinks that the "oog" part (lol) of the logo isn't really that clear...and I kinda agree. We were thinking of changing the FIRST logo into Logomotion tubes, having the O become an ubertube (then it even matches the colors of the Google logo!) but then what's the 2010 robot hanging on...?

I think it would be sweet if they did one of the hints for next years game in the Google doodle

It would look better if the logo was also hand drawn. Bring in some of that Jack Kamen spirit.

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

I could give it a shot. I'm not sure how much hand-drawn would work out with people who don't know Jack Kamen... but hey, it could work out. I can get kinda OCD about stuff but I can hand-draw the final once I'm done working out the design...

well here's a WIP of some suggestions my friends made - the FIRST symbol didn't really stand out as letters, and it seemed 2011-heavy... The circle tube will be an ubertube, so the colors all match with Google's logo :D

Though I've also been getting a lot of confusion over the e/Rebound Rumble bot... any suggestions?

And Breakaway bot is now hanging on a random peg or something. Not as cool as hanging on the square shape but....

Hmm, putting in the Rebound Rumble bridge complicates the drawing too much. I really like the way the square and breakaway bot form the lower case g with the inflatables, though. Then again, if you can incorporate the bridge, go for it. Maybe 2011 is on one end and 2010 hangs off the other end. Which breaks several laws of physics by phasing the 2010 bot through the floor, but who cares.

I think your logo drawing is fine, and besides, when someone hovers over the link, they can wiki hop from FRC to Dean Kamen to Jack Kamen.

So who's contacting Google once suzumebachi is done?

Re: Google Doodle~!
 

Physics? what is this physics you speak of? XD I guess technically right now it's also going through the floor...

Yeah... well I only really threw the bridge in as an attempt to balance the game elements - take it out and it ends up being all 2011 stuff + robots from the other 2 years... and that would bother me xDD

...re reading the posts...did you mean the FIRST logo itself,not the entire drawing? XD because that would be easy... -.- whoops!

Oh and as for sending it to google...I could unless someone else wants to...haha I dunno what I'd write...O_O
