I have a great idea as too what the games going to be let's take the water game to the extreme...pudding or jello game anyone

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

Hmm, I think the one thing I would really like to see is...
Robots trying to joust, in a field filled with chuck E. cheese ballpit balls.
Now that would be awesome!:D
Also it would we cool if all the refs were dressed as ninjas... :rolleyes:

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

I like the fully autonomous robot idea! We joked about that for a while this year because if the lap running autonomous for Overdrive worked well enough -with collision detection included- then we could just turn in on and let it run the whole match and maybe make the turns better than a human driver... (it didn't work that well... it started having temper tantrums!) But that would be really cool to more automated commands for the robots! Maybe zones where you can not have any human control, and it has to go through on sensors and programming alone!

Sorry, the jello game is reserved for FLL. Lime jello, specifically.

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

I thought Dave said that they rejected his jello game :p

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

Just because Dave says something does not mean he is telling us everything, they could have vetoed the lime jello game but not the strawberry jello game.

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

Dave never tells us everything ... especially around hint time.

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

I think that a human component on the field would be AMAZING!!!:eek:

Two Words: Robot Jousting

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

How about together-
new fun for the team safety officers.

I'll bring the band aids....

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

Sounds like Botball, somewhat. ;)

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

Cheerleaders...

No really though, a robot game with rules similar to Risk. This would combine FIRST, Battlebots, and US Government...

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

yeah I agree. but i think that it will be more like you have to pass the ball or whatever from teammate to teammate. so you really need to work with them, or your whole alience suffers, that or i think that it would be cool to have a multi leveled playing field, like each robot is responsible for getting it up to the next level for the next robot to score.

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

Multi Leveled might be hard, but just having sections with walls and having to pass the scoring object would definitely be possible and fun. Have the alliances going in opposing directions, and you could still play defense.

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 

After seeing this years hint, I have something that I can now say will never, ever, not until the end of time, happen: We will never see a game hint that allows us to guess at what the game will be, nor one that fails to cause a ridiculous amount of speculation.
