Favorite Game Peice
 

What is your favorite game peice?

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

The tubes from this year, although I never saw the 1999 game

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

The water-filled ball.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I love the 2003 Bins because I use them as storage and when I move they are a great help.

I will like the tubes this year when I go to the pool.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

Gotta love the "floppy" from '99. We still have about 10-12, and use them to help pack the robot in the crate each year.

I'm with Andy. We do the same thing.

They also make great pillows ;)

The diving sticks and goggles, from the 2008 Water Games!

Lets see, these are the game pieces 587 has
Year - Piece - Use
2001 - Balls - Can be thrown at people
2002 - Balls - Can be thrown at people
2003 - Bins - Anything from drills to buttons can be stored in them
2004 - Balls - Can be thrown at people, chair
2005 - Tetrahedron - No known use
2006 - Poof Balls - Can be thrown at people, cushion, soft mechanical stop
2007 - Tubes - Can be thrown at people, superultimate frisbee

Pretty easy to see which are my favorites, the 2006 and 2003 game pieces. 2003 edges out 2006 though, since you don't always need a soft mechanical stop or cushion, but, in my experience, a FIRST team can never have too much storage.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

Hmm, I like the 2007 tubes... tell a newbie you need them to blow one up so you can show them the arm... twenty mins later ask why they didn't use the compressor. Always fun.

Also, the 2003 bins are good at storing stuff.

the 2006 Poof balls are always fun to throw at people.

2006 poof balls- two reason- pegging freshemen and human vs robot doogeball at the pep ralleys

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I like the floppies from '99, although we don't have any left... it's been a very long time and I'm sure there's gotta be one sitting at Genesis (where we used to build the robot) somewhere.

2003 has to be the best visual game piece. I loved watching them just... explode.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I think that I liked the poof balls the best because it brought back the best sport ever! DODGE BALL!

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I like the 2003 bins because they explode into a bazillion pieces if you hit 'em right. And they were loud when they fell.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

Always been a fan of Torroid Terror, so the torroids have always been my favorite game piece, even before this year. Runners up are for the niftyness that were the '05 tetras, and the floppies from '99, which as previously mentioned, make great pillows.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

The poof balls were great. There were so many uses for them. Better than that the game was so fun!

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I liked the bins from 2003. Not only were they wicked awesome post season for storage, but you could sit in one and slide down a ramp.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

i'm gonna have to go with the tetras because outside of the game they take up space......and they are just so ridicously overthought.....kinda'

:yikes:

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

Got to be the poof balls for me. YAY Dodgeball!!!!

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I am definitly going to have to go with the bins from '03 because they were cool to see in the game. But the '06 poof will always have a special place in my heart... the place that loves dodgeball.

P.S. the tetras were awsome but are useless outside of the field. (well they make cool hats)

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

Up high on my list are poof balls and tetras; the prior because they were quite possibly the best for having dodgeball games, and the latter because they were so interesting to manipulate during the game.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

Definitely the magical self-righting poof ball.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I have to pick the tetra because it is just so different than everything else put out. Strangely, is from one of my least favorite games I have seen.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

Definitely poof, but they are EXTREMELY distracting, and really make you mad when you are really working hard on something and someone chucks one at your head with 6 hours until ship.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I'll give another vote to the poof ball. Nobody was ever safe. I was probably hit while walking through the lab about ten or twelve times that year.

Re: Favorite Game Peice
 

I'll vote for the Tetra, it was just a unique game piece.:)
