Now THIS is a game I can get behind! Lots of scoring opportunities, playable with a Squarebot but harder to dominate, and a big ol' center field structure. I'm in love.

Two questions come up:

1) By "designated ground scoring area," you mean that the balls simply have to be on your side of the ramp?

2) The rules say "Robots built with the sole intention of the destruction of the field or
other robots will not be tolerated." Is tipping, particularly on the ramp, considered destruction?

What the considered ramp for the 20 pts? your color ramp or white?

1) yes. Every ball on yourside of the ramp is worth 1 point; ie. each team starts with 30 pts.

2) Tipping is not destruction. Although building something that does nothing but tip isn't that cool of an idea...right kids?

Any part of the 30 deg ramp is considered ramp for 20 pts. Per the definition of the 30deg ramp.

Nice job greg, I was getting a bit worried I wouldn't have anything to give to my rookies to start working on. Now I do. I may have my vet's build a robot to compete against the rookies.

Wow.... that's amazing. I'm gonna have to replicate this field and force my team to teach the new students (I don't like "rookies") with our Vex bots using this game. I hope you don't mind... lol. Man, wish I lived in NY now.

Looks very solid and i can't wait to start building a robot for it.

Any idea of how many participants and when this will take place at the ruckus? I am also thinking of volunteering, so i kinda need that info if i am available to volunteer.

Where are the balls at the start of each match?

Yeah, I am potentially going to field a robot for this. Just a little info on when it will take place would be greatly appreciated.
