Re: Possibility for 2016 Game
This was addressed in the 2006 game. Radar guns at inspection and (as I recall) randomly. I was not aware of any shenanigans. But, I don't think the ball speed would affect knocking down plastic...

Re: Possibility for 2016 Game
If you want to shoot things and have an interesting target, have bowling pins (plastic, of course) set up on the field. Shoot tennis balls at them. Robots cannot pass midfield. Scoring is done at...

Re: New info on 2016 Game
A small, tethered drone that has to land on a platform. You wouldn't want radio remote controll, there's enough garbage in the air to really mess with the contoll. Perhaps something like a 10' usb...

Re: New info on 2016 Game
I don't think anyone is serious about a water game, but rather very serious about "proving" that next year's game is a water game. Its cheap entertainment and keeps the brain funtioning over the...

Re: 2015 HINT DISCUSSION
I am still looking for five team alliances. Two levels of drivers, three on the floor behind the glass, two on a raised platform behind and in between the three. That would also mean smaller robots...

Re: 2016 FRC GAME
How about a vex bot, maybe tethered to the main bot, that is needed to do some part of the scoring?

Actually, I do not think water balloons would be a good game piece. Just sayin'.

Re: 2016 FRC GAME
Love it! We have gotten cooling fans for years in the KOP. We could use them to push ourselves around in zero G. Or were you thinking zero G in a vacuum? :yikes:

Re: 2014 Game
You are making an assumption that the robots will be the same size/weight again this year. Think outside the box! What if they limit us to 60 lbs? :yikes:

Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!

Once you have tried...

Re: Ideal FRC Game
I liked the Aim High field where there was no obstacle in the field, but a ramp you had to climb for the end game.

I am impressed with your self controll not to mention "Water Game!" after your anagram. (The implication is good enough.)

I got about halfway through the replies on this thread and then it hit me. The game piece will be a Nerf football and we need to kick them through a goal post for three (3) points. Now I need to go...

Re: 2013 Game Hint!
I keep thinking back to Dave Lavery's "Hints." Because he was on the GDC, everything he posted was examined, torn, spindled, mutilated, and discussed to the nth degree. I am thinking that this may...

Water pistols at 10 wheel revolutions? (Can't use 10 paces since most or all of the bots don't have legs.) :eek:
