Re: Next Year's Game?

There you go GDC. Your welcome.

:cool:

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

Now I wanna throw a robot on my friend's miniramp and see what happens... see if I can pull off some 180s and whatnot.

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

Now we are thinking outside of the box! (or at least outside the hockey rink shape!) ;)

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

I look forward to videos of the whatnot.

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

I'd build a Vex bot to do it, but the motors would be way too slow to get any air. I also don't have access to CIM powered robots, so it looks like it'll be a pipe dream for now.

I bet I could get it to do a flair or two.

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

I think that all communication between the drivers station and the robot should be delayed by 15 seconds. Obviously, the communication about the robot's mode (which means that response to the e-stop button would be instant.)

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

whatnot may be boring. Try for some shenanigans.

A delay could be dangerous and expensive...how about, for a much more interesting idea, humans riding the robots?

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

next year all robots must hover

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

:D. As neat as these ideas are, next year's game will be something crazy. No doubt. And my ... expectations for next year's game are...

1. The carpet will make a huge return. I think FIRST will not experiement with another flooring for a while.

2. I expect the game element to NOT be a ball. We got away with round shaped objects for two years, and I don't think we'll be lucky enough for a third year.

3. I expect for the last seconds of the match to also count a lot more. This year, while the super cell did make/break some matches, I don't think it played THAT big of a role in the larger scope of the matches. So I think that the last second bonuses will also be more influential.

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

if you count ringers as round in shape, it's been four years in a row ><

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

I guess by round, I mainly meant "ball" shape.

Re: Next Year's Game?
 

"spherical" maybe?

I think that we'll have to drive on an upside-down surface...DUN DUN DUN!
