I feel that FIRST, realistically, is going to give us some other sports ball next. Maybe a football? Even better would be playing Hockey. In Water. While Podracing.

It's been hockey for the last three years now...

Re: 2015 Game
 
Since 2002, FIRST has followed the pattern of even years being balls and odd years being alternative objects. Although 2009 was a "ball shape" I still consider it a different object. I would say that more than likely, there will not be a football this year as that is technically a ball. It is a weird shape to work with but I just hate the idea of 4 shooting games in a row. I'm hoping for another stacking or lifting type game that has tasks taking low cycle times(ex: everyone lifting their own tubes continuously instead of "assisting" them to one another.) This would allow more teams to partake in the finishing aspect of games that can really only be one at a time if done in a assisting/zone type game.

"It's a ball, but it breaks the pattern so it's not really a ball" :rolleyes:

Confirmation bias and the "law of close enough"

Especially since most people would consider a Lunacy game piece to be closer to a ball than a football.

I know this probably wont happen anytime soon, but i think that an air game would be awesome

Hi, I Was Looking At The Posts On The Site And I Found A Clue About The 2015 Game



I Think We Are Finally Getting It This Year !

Edit: I Can't Find It Anymore :c

I have solved it:
Boats float on water
Boats have poor "traction" (if you will)
Lunacy had poor traction

Regolith is back!

Maybe its more of the waves in the water rather than the water. My assumption now will be a mowing goal game. This could be a wire you have to hang things from that sways or movable goals you have to stack things on.

We mustn't overlook that FIRST often tries to relate the competition to recent events. It appears that NASA will be in the news quite a bit with the Dawn spacecraft landing on Ceres, the New Pathfinder studying Pluto, and the launch of the LISA Pathfinder. There will also be a total and a partial solar eclipse on 2015. My money is on something space-themed, but far from Lunacy, I'm sure the GDC doesn't hate us too much...

What I find interesting about the blog post is that Frank says everything is on the table, year after year. I seem to recall that some very clever folks here last year connected a "hint" (legit or not, I dunno) to GPS coordinates, and a bridge with a weight limit road sign. Anybody else think a reduced weight limit, say 110lbs, might be specified, to go with the new(ish) 112" perimeter? It might force some difficult decisions on strategies, meaning fewer "do everything" robots. It might it also help level the playing field for rookies and struggling teams. What does C/D think?

It's a water game with twist...as in ice bucket challenge! Each alliance is allowed to carry, pass and pour water into goal tank. The goals are at different levels. And no, water pumps are not allowed!

I could see this happening eventually, but not until control systems become more integrated.

No. Just no. Please no.
