You know what would be cool? Robot bowling.

You mean like this?
Lego NXT Wii Bowling

We need more mini-bots, and they should be carrying an even smaller robot that will then preform a short song and dance routine.

Re: 2012 Game?
 

Emphasis mine.

At BattleCry, they showed a preview video, and they told us it was a sight of next year's game, and it was heavily implied robots would have to dance, maybe sing. I'm not convinced, I swear I've seen that video before...

I have a solution for the Water Game needs.
Robots "make" water by picking up little different sized and colored balls labled H, for Hydrogen, and O, for Oxygen. They then have to put them in little goals to make water. The actual scoring method could be changed, thats all i could think of doing besides dumping them into giant goals. maybe have bonuses if your giant goal ends with a 2:1 ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen. Just my thoughts.

Re: 2012 Game?
 

OH GOD DON'T DO IT. Our team participates in a robotics competition called BEST (I know FIRST isn't a fan..) and the 2010 game was to make different types of stuff such as water. Needless to say.. it was horrible. The rules were difficult, the scoring was awful. I would not be a fan.

That's pretty cool. But my idea of bowling is the type you see at arcades
Roll ball > concentric circles etc
Here's a picture:

Honestly, it would be a spin off of '10s game but cool nevertheless

Re: 2012 Game?
 

hahahaha. I think FIRST could probably make it a better game, but my game idea wasnt trying to really focus on making water, just more of collecting little game pieces.

I've posted an idea for a hockey game in the Game Design forum if you're interested ... ::rtm::

Ok it cant just be me who imagined Rumble/Frenzy in a tux right?

Re: 2012 Game?
 

How about a tennis playing game? Like 3 on 3 robot tennis, it would be pretty epic lol

Re: 2012 Game?
 

How about like the moon balls had the attached trailer, that holds something, and play a game where the objective is like laser tag, who ever gets hit the most loses. The number of time an alliance hits their opponents would be there score plus a bonus for winning. A final challenge would be targets on the opposite side of the field and would be like this year's race game, first to hit gets most bonus points. It would combine the shooter bots, this year's endgame, and a new idea. It would haven to change for the hitting opponents, but very cool.

Re: 2012 Game?
 

Indeed it would

I thought logomotion had something to do with hockey? When I looked up information about this year's events it seemed to be focused on hockey. I wondered if we were shoving around tube hockey pucks or something. lol

Re: 2012 Game?
 

It would seem that tennis fits the trend. COrrect me if i'm wrong, but these things seem to go in a cycle so next year should be a sport involving launching multiple smaller game objects?

Re: 2012 Game?
 

There are many trends that people have come up with from the past years, so it's hard to tell what FIRST will do. People have said sports, ball game pieces and not, and a few others. FIRST will probably see this trend and do something completely off trend.
