Re: 2013 ACTUAL game hint!!!

Wow... a balancing game would be quite a challenge... but isn't that what makes FRC fun?

I have a few concerns however:

If we do have a game where robots balance on top of balls, doesn't that sound dangerous to not only the robots but to teams attempting to retrieve their robots at the end of the match?

Is the cRIO update speed fast enough to allow for tele-operation and balancing (separate task I would imagine)?


I would think the danger part would definitely be the part to rule out this possibility.. However, I do think it would be a ball balancing game. Last year was a shooter.. so you know how this trend normally goes.. Arm game, but this year, the arm balances balls. Or maybe we use the arm to get the balls somewhere that requires balancing the balls atop it.

I hope the game masters are getting a good chuckle at this thread because it is almost torturous for me.
