2016 Game Prediction - Football
 
I predict that the 2016 game will have a football theme; in honor of the 50th Super Bowl.

We will see weight limits based on speed (sort of like Rack 'n Roll); heavier robots will be limited in top end speed. Robots will be required to "wear" helmets, with face masks, in addition to the shoulder pads (bumpers).

For all of those who missed the ruff and tumble defensive play, this will be your game.

The end-game bonus will be the ability to "tear down" the goal posts; however, your alliance must be leading with 10 seconds remaining or you will be DQ'ed.

Will there be as many stoppages as a football game?
2.5min matches may last 15min then.

To compensate, matches will be 11 on 11. Good luck strategizing, teams.

Also, the field will randomly flood and drain four times to represent game quarters.

But there was already a football theme in 2010. /s

Honestly I think the GDC is gonna stay away from the sports theme for bit longer. But I wouldn't mind being proven wrong though...

Maybe we'll get to stack something exciting like buckets or pallets!

I like this idea. It would force teams to really break down the game and decide how their robot will fit within the game's roles

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.

One robot must be designated as the QUARTERBACK before the match begins. The QUARTERBACK must begin with the ball and only that robot can throw the ball.

I like it. Only one question remains, though.

How closely guarded will the game piece air pressure be?

Whose doing the half time show?

I think our drive coach would enjoy this... since he is a high school football coach as well.

As long as it being the wrong pressure gets 24 hour news coverage and a catchy buzzword name...

Just, let's not let FIRSTers get quite as rabid as Pats fans...
