So after a little reading on Bill's Blog, I noticed that he said " The Engineering team has been busy prototyping the game elements" To me at least this implies there may be more than one game element and that they may be an original creation of first.

From FIRST games, the only trend I see is that the games are different each year (even that has an exception in the compilation games) so don't expect them to follow a pattern. You can guess that after not using a piece for a while they may use it again (even that doesn't hold up if you check the time difference between Aim High and Lunacy or Rack and Roll and Logomotion)

The pattern I follow with predictions is that there is none.

That sounds highly probable.

Members of my team and I often joke around about how the pattern has been sport, non-sport, sport, non-sport... for a very long time, so our ideas have been: Skydiving, swimming, and gymnastics. Of course that would would be fun and impossible.

I think if they chose swimming, every electrical person would just quit.

Not me, I would be having fun. I mean, how many people have to waterproof electronics? I think it would be a fun challenge.

hmm...I should make my computer waterproof...efficient cooling...:P

It would be fun, more fun than any other game perhaps, but near impossible in 6 weeks, although every other game is too...

Water game scenario and the LUNACY corrollary: just as LUNACY "simulated" low gravity with regolith, could water (higher density) be simulated with a layer of small objects on the arena floor making maneuvering a challenge? Then, the "water" pieces could stick to the game pieces (weak velcro?) and simulate the challenge of manipulating a "wet" gamepiece? Just like water can get into small crevaces, the game's "water" pieces would get all into the machinery of the robots. Quite a "simulated" challenge. Need to design robot with some seal against that?

Would like to see how the arena caretakers and shippers could manage the "simulated water" throughout the season.

Just hoping to promote the idea of a "water" game. . .

Perhaps small plastic beads?

I see gearbox mayhem if this were to be the game. Enclosed gearboxes would be fine, but AM shifters, toughbox nanos and nano tubes, and many custom/modified gearboxes would become bead grinders. Then the dust and broken bead bits would get in the grease and... it wouldn't be pretty. :yikes:

Duct Tape? Maybe it actually has a use.

I'd love to see the day when duct tape is a game piece. The game? Use the rolls of duct tape to complete some sort of task!
