I know, but my point was: who wants a robot that holds only one or two poof balls at a time (or water balloons or flags or whatever they're using in 2007)?

Re: 2007 Game Thread
 

i want a game that involves putting robots and acid together so that teams will have to worry about the coating on their robot.

also if you can play capture the flag and be able to shoot projectiles at the other team alliance.

water on the field... :yikes:

I'm not sure how many times this has been said (I'm estimating a value of exactly "far too many"). But I would love to see a water based game in 07. It would be totally awesome.

Actually, if they used clear oil of some type, you wouldn't have to worry about electronics shorting out. People fill their computer cases with olive oil all the time to cool them.

Of course then it might light on fire and it'd be really expensive.

Team 64 did that in their second match on Galileo in 2005. Well, it fell from the 10 foot bar and almost flew.

My prediction for the 2007 game stays the same. Lovely crystal ball I have. (It even works in hex!)

Re: 2007 Game Thread
 

That was crazy; the robot fell from the very top, there was a loud crash as the lexan platform was cracked, and all the lights and everything on it just died. We have video of it on our team's DVD from that year.

I'd love to see a very small field element, like racquet balls. I know teams often have to deal with them in Vex and stuff, but managing them on a large robot and keeping them out all the small places they could fall would be interesting. Plus they could give the "gumball" effect on the field; imagine robots sliding around on racquet balls like every bad guy in a comedy movie.

It's really funny seeing what the prediction for the 2006 challenge was... :rolleyes:

I think it would be really cool to have a robot relay running, where there are two picker-bots which collect gamepieces, and a designated holder-bot that keeps the pieces guarded inside itself. Then lay a couple 4" by 4" beams on the ground to act as obstacles. In the middle of the field have two ramps leading up to a raised platform. Not only would the ramps be covered with Teflon sheets, but for every ten seconds a robot remains on the platform and successfully fends off the other team, their alliance gets a 10 to 15 point bonus, and they keep getting the bonus as long as they remain on the ramp. :D


What came first: the student or the mentor?

once again. water. submarine robots.

Re: 2007 Game Thread
 

what if they just modified the game (2006) to footballs. Just think of trying to make a shooter for that or pick them up off the ground. Human loading would be a problem.

Re: 2007 Game Thread
 

personally i loved triple play. im hoping that they make another game like that: one with some strategey and planning, as opposed to just shooting balls whenever u can get the chance

Make EMP devices legal! :D All unshielded electronics are shot. The hardest part would be making the radius small enough!
