Re: ideas
 

not really a mechanical person, But every year I give my team the same idea for a robot.

A trained monkey wrapped in tin foil! Somehow powered by the battery.

Re: ideas

Re: ideas
 

Powering him with the battery is the EASY part.

No offense, but you probably won't see anyone posting ideas this early. You may get some general ideas as to where people may be going in their design. This is a competition after all.

Try looking at pictures from recent games with similar attributes. Maybe I can help:

2002 (Zone Zeal)
Robots had to score soccer balls into mobile goals.



2004 (FIRST Frenzy)
Robots had to score playground balls into both stationary and mobile goals.



2006 (Aim High)
Robots had to pick up poof balls and shoot them into an elevated goal.

Re: ideas
 

i think a good place to start is what you want to do.
make lot of points
help team mates score (by pining)
getting the super cells to the human player.


then find out for each one how you do it.

for making points do you want to shoot balls or dump balls,

Re: ideas
 

For what it's worth, robots were not allowed to score the playground balls in 2004.

Re: ideas
 

Yeah, I know. How are we ever going to get him to use those regulation wheels...

Re: ideas

Re: ideas
 

our idea involves wheels

Re: ideas
 

I have a great idea, the rules only say that only the wheels specified can touch the floor why doesn't some body go way over budget and build/buy a helicopter.

I think everyone has been quite helpful, monkey sarcasm aside. What might help us is if you added a punctuation mark or two. Capitalization isn't required but is a bonus.

But honestly, go back and look at the designs from '02, '04, and '06. There is a book called "aim high" that you can find in many book stores that has a lot of fantastic '06 designs in it.

Re: ideas
 

I would say evaluate what all the tasks are with lunacy.
Once you evaluate all of them, come up with different ways to complete those tasks. And then you can come up with different design ideas. That is all I have to say because it truely is a competition and that's the fun part of it . . . coming up with your own ideas and making them become a reality!! :D
