Like the spider rack in 2007. It was completely motionless until the robots started bumping it. That adds a nice random factor to the game. You know the rack is there, and isn't moving positions, but the actual pieces still wobbled.

Back in 2004, 330 fell off a 10' high bar with no damage. The damage happened the next match, when someone ran the lift while it was locked...

Build the robots strong enough, you don't have to worry too much about damage from things like defense and falling and getting hit by game objects.

Re: Next Year's Game?

what if there was a ramp for each robot, different slopes worth different points and changing slopes scoring bonus points, and with 30 secs or so remaining, the field was floded with 4-6 inches of water. the winner being the bot highest on its ramp. adding a challenge, make a way for the robot to attach itself to a cable and winch itself up the ramp...but we would need to have power to undo the cables...

I'd be so down for this. But only if there is a traffic cone ;)

Whatever the game is, I'd like the autonomous at the end of the match.

I quite like the idea of the Purple alliance...

Hmmm... A game with more than 2 alliances does sound interesting...

I think that you need to read up on the games in the late 1990's... Especially before 1999. Then extrapolate...

I'll check them out. Now that I think about it, it could see some problems with a 3+ alliance system. Sorry for bringing back the idea...

Re: Next Year's Game?

You know what would be frustrating? If there was a bar or overpass object on the field lower than the maximum robot height. Teams would have to innovate to make their robots able to scrunch down.

Or expand... See 2000, 2001, 2003. Frustrating? Only if you planned to use the ramp in a traffic jam.
