Re: 2016 Game Prediction - Football

It often snows here in South Bend on gameday. Maybe we will have some sort of snowfall mechanic where slowly the field lines start to disappear and then nobody knows where any of the zones are?

I don't want to giveaway the details as alot of kids on our team read chiefdelphi. My thinking is First has to do it eventually, it's the only thing they haven't done. Rugby would be cool too.

In all seriousness, someone on the GDC (pretty sure it's Aiden) has said that he brings a nerf football into a brainstorming session every year. Eventually they'll cave (so he says).

Or they will run the other direction and make it a nerf gun fight...

As a strategy coach, I don't get why this would be perceived as a negative. More robots on your alliance means more tools in your collective toolbox to play with in formulating a gameplan. That'd be awesome.

I'd imagine formulating a game plan with 10 other teams would be difficult, depending on their willingness to work with different ideas pitched to them.

I wasn't on Chief Delphi as much last year, but I'm surprised that Aerial Assist has drawn so much ire from the community. To us at 166 it is one of the best games FIRST has created. Sure penalties were kind of crazy, but no game is without its drawbacks.

I know this is a little off-topic, but when Aerial Assist was adored by so many on Chop Shop I am just curious as to why so many people everywhere else dislike it so much.

Honestly, I'd probably only compete just so I don't get fined.

Football is a sport that causes its athletes to be fatigued. Fatigued people sweat. People who sweat drink Gatorade at sports events. Gatorade has the word Gator in it. Gator is short for alligator. Alligators swim in the water. Water game 2016 confirmed.

Employment looks bright for Dozer if football is the game.

A few years ago I refereed at a BunnyBots (a fall off-season event run by the Flaming Chickens) that had the robots armed with nerf guns. Each hit deducted points from the victim's score. Referees had to count hits with clickers.

(Besides shooting each other, the robots were attempting to move an assortment of stuffed rabbits into goals. It was a fun game!)

Football teams need offensive linemen, too. :)

Another thing to keep in mind for the 2016 game is that it will be the 25th season of FRC.

This just means a portion of your robot will need to be fabricated from silver.

Re: 2016 Game Prediction - Football

I've been predicting a football game for the past 3 years and have been disappointed every time it hasn't been one. Oh well, at least I've got some good ideas on game piece manipulation.
