Okay, so it's probably not necessary to go around posting the same thing in three different threads or whatever.

Just sayin'.

Perhaps autonomous mode is optional - you can either choose to activate autonomous, and extend the amount of time you have to do stuff by 15 seconds (activate by 1:45 in a 2-minute match, autonomous turns on at 1:45 and stays on til 2:15) or choose to have less time (2 minutes) but with full robot control...Ah well. All we can do is wait til Saturday

what about if the robots start on the side of the field in a seprate 'road' thats blocked off from the main field except for an opening near the middle of the field and have a long auto mode where they go from the start position to the middle of the field. like a seperate starting zone. that would give an incentive to have a fast robot, and maybe max speed will be set. also if oppiset teams robots needed to go thru the same opening, it might mean you need to program a contingency in auto mode in case both robots get stuck in the exit. there would also be 'two roads' if its 2v2, so you can work with your alliance as to which robot will be on each side, and who will face the robot on the other alliance.

I read the hints and the bom and I believe I see a giant rodent wheel of sorts

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

thats kinda odd... cuz one of our team mentors had that same thought... but he may have gotten it from here... i dont know :confused: ... another thought of his was that maybe they do something to the point multiplyer based on the length of time you spend in autonomous...

also... weve been kinda thinkin that the field may be some kind of maze with movable gates... which would account for the long run and change of paths

haha yes i made that thread for a reason.... so that i could put wt i rly think in a forum liek this....
That BOM seems to have a lot of wood, and the toilette flanges along with that pipe tell me there will be some srt of bar to hang from... those wheels are curios too, rather than stair i believe there will be some sort of puck that we will be able to climb on..... all those pvc pipes brings back memorie of 2002's game so i see big balls and a big goal.....

... forgive me if this was already posted i havn;t had time to read the whole thread

:rolleyes: I'm not going to even say anything...

Re: My hints and guess on the Game in 2004!
 

MY IDEA THAT WAS THOUGHT OUT FOR A LONG TIME........
A robot racing up/down a feight of stairs, then moving an obect up/down and repeating for an extended time until one team either gets all of the objects, or time runs out and one team has the most. alliances? There's a possibility. and more than two robots competing at once time is also believable. It is also possible that the objects that are being moved can be stolen or "borrowed" but that's just my interpertation of the hint and everyone's ideas. Might be the answer, then again it might not be. It's just my opinion. :yikes:
