Army of Slugs

You think that the floor being used was slippery? Well wait until you hear this. I heard from FIRST reps that an army of slugs is going to be released onto the playing field. The army will consist of roughly 50-100 slugs, and as you know, they will leave a slippery residue behind. Also, in the upper right hand corner of the field, rumor has it that there is a hidden time vortex, and if your robot falls in, it will be warped 20 seconds backwards in time. Good luck!

Re: Army of Slugs

Dont worry- there are slug eating robots already out there and available to rescue us.

I had another comment but I'll just let it slide....

Maybe someone will make a salt dropping robot.
Oh the humanity!

Maybe no water game but how about a slime game.

It's not exactly slime but would nuclear sludge count? Robots were used to clean out nuclear waste storage tanks since exposure would quickly kill a human.

It couldn't be radioactive :eek: waste, but "sludge" would make an interesting "game piece."

As long as they're fake banana peels... eeew.

I dunno about a slime/sludge game, though... who would want to carry the robot onto a field full of slime? Or trudge back through it to pick it up again? There's a lot I'll do for robotics (including getting covered head to toe in mud, which I have done)... but playing with slime for four months is pushing it.

why not? Human players being required to wear NBC suits would add a certain level of difficulty to this years game. :D

"Army of Slugs" - Hmmm, sounds like a good name for a band.

I wonder if the folks in the band "Army Of Anyone" would be amused, or weirded out slightly? Maybe both. lol

Talk about a real world challenge. If you succeed score a win for your alliance. If you lose everyone in the arena dies.
