Re: 2013 Game?
I would like to see a game with hollow cylinders. For example, a 24" long section of 6" PVC drain pipe, etc. Length, diameter, material, and weight could be whatever works for the game. There could even be multiple size game pieces.
There are several ways to pick up a cylinder, so we would see a variety of new and reconfigured manipulator concepts. Orienting the manipulator/chassis to pick up a cylinder and then reorienting the game piece to release it for scoring would require some fresh thinking. Multi-piece handling would be even more ambitious.
The game could reward the ability to control and orient the game piece when released - lowest points for pushing them into a low goal, more for depositing them randomly in an elevated goal, more points still for stacking them like logs, even more for hanging them on pegs, etc.
