What about Breakaway on regolith? Ever tried to line up a ball with any certainty, let alone do it with robots slamming you into a wall? It is not a sort of thing you can do without fine control. How about aiming for the tower. Skid right into it. What about 469, you say? Have fun fighting for the tunnel. One good push and they're pinned against a wall, doing nothing. Keep em' there for the entire match, and you should be good. OO!! OO!! I got it: Zoom across the field, catch a ball on the way, then turn really fast and skid into the wall, and kick. Assuming you kick straight, it should make it if you're lined up with the wall.

Overdrive on regolith sounds a bit more fun, although it would be a slow game. If they used the same ramming and pinning rules from 09, you could just pound the simbots into a corner and keep em there. Traction control would be huge, as would controllable turn-drifting (sounds like a lot of fun)

What about an in-between? Slick, but not too slick. Or a slippery surface, all wheels allowed (polished tile, anyone?)

Hey, remember how this is the red herring thread?

Maybe Dave posted... a red herring.

I might have found something interesting:

This is from a Wikipedia section called Frère Jacques in popular culture.

But what I find interesting is that in this Wikipedia section, a band called Television Personalities used this as their chorus in a song on one of their albums called 'Paisley Shirts & Mini Skirts,' which was debuted in 1996.

Now, since everything on Wikipedia is correct :rolleyes: , this could be a good trail to follow blindly! :D

Hexagon Havoc Anyone??

So were obviously making guitar hero playing robots to duel.

Ok, on to 2012.

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
 

Nah, already been done by FRC 1986. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=78180

Ditto for the water game--1726 and 842 and I think a few others have that down.

Now, if you'd said guitar-playing robots, I'd be inclined to agree.

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
 

robot battle of the bands?

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
 

Not positive but I think Dave Lavery has a new additional avatar. Rock Climbing? Can anyone confirm this or was that there and I'm just going crazy?

P.S. The image is labeled "Climbing"

He's had it for years. You just haven't noticed it yet.
