Re: New Game Progress
 

it wouldn't totally shock me if this year was the dreaded water game. i personally think that we're still a long ways off from that (i know that's kind of contradictory :) if i had to say, following a pattern, this year probably won't be a ball game, that is every other year. other than that, i don't really know.

Red Herrings :cool:

I have said it once, and i'll say it again and again until one year it will finally be true:

This year's game piece will be pool noodles.

(when this happens I want scores of people linking to this post and asking me to predict next year's game piece as well. ;) :P )

Re: New Game Progress
 

I will print this post out and eat it if we see a water game this year. I would make this bet EVERY year, but particularly this year with the new controller. Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Re: New Game Progress
 

I don't think FIRST would do water game because of the ability to some teams to be able to test robots with water.

Will we ever know what the game is until kickoff. Me no like this torture we get every year.

Re: New Game Progress
 

Now I just want to see Cory literally eat this thread.

My bet is that the new game will be an interesting design challenge, that challenges us to use the full abilities of the new controller. How about that for a general answer.

The 2009 game piece will be - Zack Morris cell phones.

I've never seen "Degrassi" but Karthik's post about 1114 being on that TV show made me think of "Saved by the Bell".....

Re: New Game Progress
 

maybe they changes the control system so they could do a water game?CRIO waterproof?:D

Re: New Game Progress
 

No, but it is *somewhat* fireproof:

See the "cRIO - Like a Rock?" video linked on this page:

Re: New Game Progress
 

Sorry................ but IFI wouldn't upgrade stuff like FIRST wanted (so i have been told)

Water games are far away, it's too risky imo. But i would like to see plastic cubes that we have to lift onto some sort of platform that has a trap door that is connected to a lever that can be pulled/rammed into by another bot.

Re: New Game Progress
 

As much as we'd all like to see one, FIRST will never have a water game. There are always going to be rookie teams that have no experience making robots, let alone making them waterproof.

I really want to see projectiles again though, like they did in '06. If not that, then pool noodles.

what about or soccer or water polo that'd be fun
