Re: 2012 Game Hint
 
I would like to see an original game for 2012. Also, I would like it to follow the sports pattern, so that this year's game revolves around a sport. Most of the sport games (Breakaway, Overdrive, Aim High, etc.) involve the use of a round ball, but maybe something different this year. Footballs, anyone? I've already had ideas for designs of a robot that would catch footballs and launch them, including a mechanism on the launch that rotates the ball to give it a spin. Whilst I doubt this game would happen, I really do want a sport?

What kind of sports themed games do you want to see? What rules/scoring elements/end game would you like to see?

Object is footballs.

Similar to 06, you can either pick up a football and throw it, or run it underneath a goal.

Only one ball can be possessed at a time(2010) but can be inside the robot.

Sooo... Basically 1995 but with a 2010 twist.

I thought it was closer to 06...but sure whynot.

Endgame could be some sort of 2 point conversion spin off (shoot a ball to a partner who grabs it without touching the ground and runs it in)

How about a game similar to archery where you must shoot (racquetballs?) at touch sensitive pads on each alliance station wall where each pad is worth a different amount of points. The closer to the center of the pad the more points your alliance gets. So the trick would be to build a robot that is incredibly accurate, fast and can accumulate balls quickly. I know this is similar to 2006 btw. The end game could be climbing a hill or uneven surface.

I think that something larger/softer than raquetballs would have to be used, for safety reasons. 2010's soccer balls couldn't leave the ground, so shooting was a bit different, but I could see a lot going wrong if we could pick up raquetballs and shoot them. I definitely like the idea, though.


I'd like to see a game that involves ping pong balls...

I like the football idea.... lots of challenges re: how to pick up, feed, launch, shoot w/ or w/o spin.......fun, fun, fun. Have to be Nerf for safety, I suppose, so the "give" would be a challenge as well.

I really believe the sports themed games are more relatable and marketable to the general public.

There is a lot of poly carbonate at the first warehouse and the field is said to be pretty heavy. Maybe it will be enclosed!:ahh:
