Yeah,

Make a quick sketch and add it as an attachment to this thread.

I'd almost be inclined to suggest that you create a board just for the pegs alone. Whether this is an additional product, or the product, is up to you. But I'm sure quite a few alliances will have the analyst keeping track of what tubes are up, and what are needed. Definitely erasable, since magnets would require too many pieces to accompany the board.

I agree with Chris, this is definitely a tough game to create a board for.

I'm with Chris, every peg needs to be on the board. His suggestion of laying them "flat" across the protected zone would probably work the best with the game field. Or, you could always add a picture of the pegs to the back side of the board, if it didn't add too much cost.

Ah, now I understand what you guys mean. Something like the attached image.

Why would you need the second set of pegs?

Usually such strategy diagrams have red and blue alliance markings.

Pre-Match scoring estimations, autonomous planning (what the opponent may score, vs your score) etc.

I don't quite know, I didn't put them in for any specific reason. You really don't, and had I thought about it, I wouldn't have included the second set of pegs. Thanks for pointing it out.

We've taken the results of the survey and some of our own ideas and combined them into a line of products for this years game.

Check it out at http://twopencildesigns.com/shop

You should be able to order items directly off of the website. Any problems let me know and I'll be able to work with you. I hope that you like what we've come up with and we are open to any suggestions you may have.

Thanks.
Liz Smith

I guess I should have posted my opinions sooner, but (looking at the magnetic dry erase board) I wonder if you could do it with the field horizontal and then the scoring pegs on top of the field. Not sure if others would use it the same way, but I think the field drawing is a lot more important than the scoring pegs (its a lot easier to say "lets score top right first" than try to verbally explain how and where you want a defender robot to go). Still a really cool product.

Any other ideas for products?

We are open for business and have items ready for shipment.
