I agree. Launching Aeropresses would be pretty cool.

Re: Possibility of a flying object?

Scaling down a JUGS machine would be an interesting challenge.

This vid suggests it could be done but is not trivial.

Agreed! I'm a huge fan of the Aerobie Ring. I didn't know they had a football. So cool!

What if they made a game piece out of 4 of these things attached together? Or if they made the game to launch these?

My team has been talking about a flying minibot that might "fly" across a string. Or maybe just fly on its own. Either way sounds awesome!!!!:D :D :D

I just don't see how football and a steampunk theme would go together. Personally I want to see a drone game ;)

The fins of this would also be pretty fragile, but it looks like the Aerobie Football resembles the oval shaped craft in the teaser more.

Oh no... I had one of these when I was a kid, these would be an absolute nightmare for robots to manipulate (and they would get shredded)... please FIRST, anything but this. :eek:

I mean they usually have specifically designed game pieces, so maybe a football that is textured with cogs and such would fit right in.

Find a trailer for the 2007 film Leatherheads. Steampunk football would look like that.

Kinda brute force and dirty, compared with the modern game.

... but my prediction is that one of the game pieces will have the illusion of flying... maybe using zip lines...

Last year the FTC game "FIRST ResQ" had little plastic figurines that could be triggered to slide down a zipline: Game Animation

And Nature's Fury (FLL 2013) had a cargo plane landing on a zip line.

So we had forklifts in 2015 and now front end loaders in 2017. First has really embraced the industrial side of robotics.
