would the "vision" game piece be using the camera or a different IR channel? anyways great idea. Also would you be able to have more then one game piece outside of autonomous?

interesting

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

cool.

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

can't envision 10' goals.

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

Agreed - the height may be a little high. I like the colored bins for each team, though.

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

Almost as impossible as envisioning a 10 foot tall, 8 foot wide dynamically shifting/shaking game piece receptacle? Or a hole 10 feet off the ground to throw game pieces into? ;)

My rule of thumb - never underestimate the GDC.


Although for the purposes of this it does seem a bit unlikely.. what's to keep them from tipping over?

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

Wow, I never understand the clues. Way to go for at least putting some game idea to it. It may end up being really close.

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

I agree with you, and maybe add some pieces that deduct or block points. Like last years competition with the Spoilers.

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

Very interesting. I'n not entirely sure that FIRST would have so may different game pieces, (tetras, cubes, and spheres) or that high of a goal, but that's just my opinion. I have no idea what they could throw at us! And that's the fun of it all . . . :D

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

To clarify the green bins, there are holes in the bins at 3' and 4' high, in the shapes of the corresponding game pieces. Robots with sufficient dexterity could score in these holes. I made the goals tall to allow the robots another way to score - the 10' I chose was arbitrary.

No endgame autonomous? :mad:

I seriously want to see the end game taken out of the human players control and played by the robots.

I guess it's "Wait till next year" again, if your guess is correct.

Re: pic: Taylor's 2008 game field guess
 

Are you saying two alliances of 3 robots? I would personally like to see something different, like 3 alliances of 2 or 3 robots each. It would make it difficult for scouters and spectators, but it would make a good game strategy even more important.
