Yeah, but that's kind of like the game Elevation for VEX, and I think FIRST tries to make the games different like, so it's not the same thing, but with different bots, it's not a bad thought. But how bout if they do the stacking thing, they must carry the stack of objects to a designated area, for full points, and anything that falls off, doesn't count anymore.

on another note... i have some knowledge of the camera as i was on the beta team for 79 Krunch so ........... the camera kicks face this year and we successfully tracked a green light (preformed the rack and roll autonomous) very well while watching it all parallel on our laptop wirelessly... so watching the camera while driving is a possibility but (this might have just been us) we found lag while sending cam. data as well as joystick data at the same time.

Jerry... if your reading this can you confirm or elaborate if there are any more questions?

Ah, didn't know VEX was doing that. Carrying the objects to a stacking area would be neat, and if they place it in your opponents start area, could lead to some interesting tactics.

Yes, they should give bonus points if you actually managed to get it over to the opponent's side, and add the fact that the opponent can take the objects out, so you can have the option to have a defensive bot to guard the items once there.

Now all they have to do is remove the rule about not crashing into other robots, and we will have a very interesting game on our hands.

Most definitely! I feel like it needs more, but it's a work in progress, maybe the addition, it has the rugged area and a slick area of the field, and the parts where you drop the items off, should be raised, so your robot had to get up a ramp, and change that one rule, and add an additional part to the robot, and if you press one of 12 buttons on the controller it would shine a colored light into the bot, and the bot would disable for a couple secs, so offensive bots could actually get the items out, it might help avoid the crash issue.

so lets summarize what we have so far: A combination of capture the flag, with ramps and slick areas 'protecting' the game pieces, robots can use a laser tag like system to disable other robots temporally, and the for bonus points, you have to stack game pieces in your opponents base. What does CD think: best game ever?

I personally like this game. Even though this might not be it, it sure is a suggestion for a future game.

I still stand on my original theory of doom.

-34 degree ramps
-4 different color objects
-multiple ramps
-King of the Kill but with objects
-Camera only used in teleop.
-I don't think robots will communicate just yet, more like drivers communicate to create a strategy.
-Not every robot is going to have a manipulator, so all robots talking will be kinda hard.
-same game piece, just different colors
-human player returns
-all the pieces are in the center and you have to score on the oppo side
-SLIPPERY FLOOR = MORE TRACTION
-two side moon thing:
one side is slippery the other is not

I have read all the posts up till now on both threads and I have to say that FIRST is awesome, these are the fastest growing threads ever!
