Robots playing poker...?
No? Didn't think so...

Re: 2014 Game
 

It might actually be pretty realistic. An alliance is shown two cards at the beginning of a match, and there are feeder stations where you have to feed in large cards, in order of the deck, and you have to try to score as many poker combinations as possible, but other teams are allowed to descore, and use them to score on their own racks. Kind of like Triple Play, but with Poker instead of Tic Tac Toe.

Robotic Billiards or Bumper Pool?

The alliances have 3 robots each- one could move the cue ball to the right spot, one plays defense on the other alliance, the other hits the cue ball? 2 alliances going at once, first to knock in 5 balls wins? (That is for billiards... I'm not sure how bumper pool would work).

Or maybe Robotic Ping-Pong!

Re: 2014 Game
 

Yes!

Now just raise the field up 10 feet...

Re: 2014 Game
 

The underside could be like an actual billiards table with tubes and such for the balls to roll through!

It'd save field reset a lot of time as they wouldnt have to pick up pieces from everywhere about the field!

Why not? :)

Re: 2014 Game
 

Just to put it out there, in the future I think it would be interesting to have a flying game. Give the robots launch points, manipulatable field elements, and robots are disabled if they touch the ground.

Bear in mind however that FRC would need vastly cheaper and more efficient parts to facilitate something of this magnitude but it would be interesting. Either that or more sponsor donations to teams. Maybe it would wok better for FTC...

Regardless, I had to put this out there after seeing the ideas get wierder and wierder, hence justifying my wild idea.

Ahem.

Re: 2014 Game
 

Hmmm... that's intereseting
Regardless, any thoughts on my flying game? It is rather unoriginal I agree but it would be interesting to watch.

Re: 2014 Game
 

I was thinking the same thing.

Yours too, although slightly less obvious.

What about the ornaments FIRST gave out at Championships for attending the Finale? Seems a bit random and not like FIRST to do. Maybe it's a game hint?

Re: 2014 Game
 

What were they?

Anybody got money on a water game?

I got my money on a water game. Think about it, the regular pushing, kicking, throwing, putting on pegs is getting old and older more experienced teams have a huge advantage. Granted they will always have somewhat of an advantage, but no frc team has done a water based game, in theory this could put more teams on the same playing field. And besides I think a water game is far overdue, were ready for a new element :)
