Brad Miller game hint?
Brad Miller just released a series of 6 video tutorials for RobotBuilder, and I started watching them. One of the first things that sparked my attention was a mention of the 2013 game: "We have intel on what the game is this year -- we understand that it's taking cylindrical objects and stacking them on rectangular objects." Also in the video is an image of a "CAD model of a robot that could play that game" which appears to be placing a thermos mug on a box. The video is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7PaYcjDEDc This seems to be the first concrete hint at what the 2013 game will look like -- any thoughts? EDIT: Watching the whole video, this is obviously just a hypothetical game he made up for demonstration purposes. Too much hype made me gullible, I guess. :p |
Re: Brad Miller game hint?
The people that know anything don't say anything. This means that people saying anything, especially clearly, don't necessarily know anything about the game. (People hiding their knowledge under multiple layers of hints... well, no comment.)

WPI troll? Maybe.

Re: Brad Miller game hint?
If it is real then ('scuse my french) what the hell.
If it isn't real then what the hell? |
Re: Brad Miller game hint?
I think everyone who knows intel about the game probably signed an NDA of some sorts...which implies that they'd be A LOT more careful about even slightly revealing the game. Also, the picture of the robot(at least the one in the beginning-I only skimmed through the video) looks to be a photograph with effects over it. It could easily have been some internal team, "let's make up a game and practice designing".
And, the red robot used in the Robot Builder program looks to be from the Rebound Rumble animation. |
Re: Brad Miller game hint?
Pretty sure it is just being used as a way to say "Let's suppose the game we were designing for was _____".

Re: Brad Miller game hint?
What I'm more interested in knowing is that is there a place where all of these resources are being compiled? I had no idea about any of this information until I see someone on CD post about it...
Thanks, - Sunny G. |

Re: Brad Miller game hint?
So, the video shows him using the test robot to put a coffee cup on a cardboard box... I think its pretty obvious that it was a joke made for the video.

Re: Brad Miller game hint?
I heard Brad has been hanging around WPI's new Pool... Sounds like a water game to me! Hahahaha

Re: Brad Miller game hint?
So, he has a sense of humor before kickoff. Nice to know.
In either case, I watched the video and decided I don't like the command based system, but that is a topic for another thread. |
Re: Brad Miller game hint?
GearsBot is also the same robot used in last years videos for the Command-Based Template. Highly doubt it has anything to do with this years game.

Re: Brad Miller game hint?
No lie this was my guess for the game
