2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
According to the website, Logomotion tubes are on closeout at AndyMark.
This must mean that the 2012 game is using ... something else! In years past, that have meant one game piece was eliminated from consideration, but because of the way Logomotion was, that's four game pieces (red triangles, white circles, yellow circles, blue squares) we won't be using! By continuing this simple process of elimination, we're sure to figure out the 2012 game pieces, and the game can't be far behind! If we all work together, I'm confident we can solve this by February. (by the way, we could be using white/blue/yellow triangles, red/blue circles, or red/yellow/white squares, so don't discount those.) |

I too am confident that we can figure this out by February. I am so confident we can figure this out I predict we figure it out in January. Perhaps even the first Saturday after New years. But maybe I shouldn't narrow it down to a specific day.
Sorry had to do it. |

At WMRI (West Michigan Robotics Invitational) teams could take home some tubes if they would like to. One possibility down and infinity left to eliminate.

I think it's safe to eliminate all tubes as game elements.... otherwhise you have a repeate of this years' game in a different way.... unless they pull FIRST Frenzy out and rehash it.... That would be quite a strategic game, actually. |
Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
I'm going out on a limb here, but I predict they will not be using any Yugos in next year's game...

I think the Yugos broke more often than the tubes.

Taylor,
Since the AM page link is "http://www.andymark.com/category-s/234.htm" I don't think we should rule out the usage of old Cyber Blue robots as game pieces. How many of those old machines do they have anyway? Yes, you can include practice robots in the count for the weekends with a lot of events. Yes, you may also reserve Chris Fultz for Einstein. MK |
Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
I believe it would be safe to add Planets, LHC's, and Unicorns to the list. Also, oil... because it's a water game... and oil and water don't mix...

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. |
Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
I googled 2012 for major anniversaries. Turns out it's the Titanic's 100 year anniversary - game piece is a ship or an iceberg maybe?

2012 has been designated Alan Turing year for the 100th year after his birth by the Turing Centenary Advisory Committee. I wonder if the GDC had his extraordinary achievements in mind for the 2012 game.

I think the GDC has always had extraordinary achievements in mind for all of the participants and their supporters. Committed problem solvers can create extraordinary achievements. The game is the door that opens to the world of possibility; it's up to the participants and their supporters to understand that and step through the door. Jane |

They are clearing space for the nanotubes we'll be using next year. FRC robots are too big. We need to get these kids working on the cutting edge!

Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
I too am confident that we can figure this out by February.

Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
The game piece is not my dog. Another one off the list.

Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!

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

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. |
Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
I think all we'll need is magnets.. MAGLEV GAME.

Re: 2012 Game Piece breakthrough hint!
The game pieces this year are neutrinos. Good luck.

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? |

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.

No, no, you've got it all wrong! We're going back to Lunacy, but stepping it up...
We'll be on the moon, communicating via sattelite with our 'bots to chuck moon rocks at our competitors! Plus, moon rocks are free on the moon! Easy-peasy!:D |
