As one of those few Humans who managed that feat (I have the shirt to prove it), I think that would be a grand idea.

As for your dog: Don't be so quick to eliminate him as a game piece. My recommendation is to start cloning immediately...

I have got it
Step 1 reach 88 mph
Step 2 let the flux capasiter do its work
Step 3 let the sparks fly

In addition, the KOP chassis will be stainless steel, the bumpers will be spring-loaded, and we will use a Mr. Fusion instead of a motorcycle battery.

I think all we'll need is magnets.. MAGLEV GAME.

The game pieces this year are neutrinos. Good luck.

Hopefully the g-forces involved won't make it difficult for the rookie teams, but I expect that thanks to the added Turbo Encabulator to the kit of parts will help maintain a well-rounded field of Super Alliances.

Since FRC seems to be moving to more compact components (i.e., new 4-port cRIO), I believe the Mini Encabulator (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2584) is more likely to be added to the KOP than the bulkier Turbo Encabulator.

pros: we are always in the presence of neutrinos, thus, there will be no shortage.

cons: neutrinos cannot be seen or otherwise detected and they do not interact with matter, they just kind of keep on going as if the matter wasn't even there.

+1,-2 probably not. How would you determine the score if you can't detect whether or not the scoring object had been scored?

Technically speaking, neutrinos have been field elements every year of FIRST, starting with the initial game.

Heck, they've even been elements before FIRST was created! You know they were there when the first computer was made.

Your Team's robot IS the THEORETICAL UNIVERSAL TURING MACHINE. The game pieces include an infinitely long paper tape.

Close - the playing field is a mobius strip.

Simple. The game is a mock up of America's Who's Line is it Anyways?, where the points don't matter! A winner is randomly picked based off numerous factors that include the temperature outside, the number of people inside at that exact moment, and what coaches on the opposing team had for lunch. :ahh:

And the field is in fact a mobius strip.

But then you get coaches vetting their diet to try and tip the scales in their teams' favour. Clearly, the deciding factor is going to be the number of red cars in the parking lot.

Team Neutrino says okay, we're ready, but you won't notice us

Did you guys hear something? I swear somebody said something.

I just got cold chills.
