I wasnt thinking it would be exactly like the ftc endgame. I was more leaning toward it being a variation of it, like we have to lift a heavy game piece a few feet in the air or something to that effect.

I've completely figured it out:

Robots will have to move around, and also displace objects in order to score points.

What do I win?

Congratulations!

Your team gets to build its very own robot, starting January 5th. :D

I think that something like this, except where the robot pulls down on a pulley or something, a rope or somesuch, might be in the running.

I was would even bet against that, in the safety conscious world we are in today. Could easily crush someone's toes.

In 2010 we had to lift our whole robot off the ground. In 2007 we had to lift alliance partners.

I wouldn't bet on much of anything where FIRST games are concerned (except that this year will absolutely not be a water game).

So every 3 years robots have to lift robots? There's yet another pattern to consider. :p

2010 was probably one of the more dangerous endgames FIRST has done in the modern-era. 2007 wasnt that sketchy because robots were on pretty darn sturdy ramps that could allow a robot to just be lifted off or roll off and they were only 12 inches off the ground.

you know...

all this speculation and ideas of what the game might be...and since
we know at least someone from the GDC reads this....its probably
giving them ideas for other games if it hasn't already.

Yeah, but in 2007 robots really wernt "lifted" by means of like a few feet.

Yes, it is possible, but Im just saying that I dont think they would. Im sure they do a pro/con analysis of each idea, and safety has to be on there.

From talking to people in FTC, it would be a "bad" idea to completely copy the FTC endgame, as apparently people would just build incredibly tall scissor lifts that became a ridiculous source of points. Of course, there were defensive robots that would hold down other bots, but I don't think that FRC could safely do that.

+1 to this. Sounds about right
