Re: Cool future games

I have put a good deal of thought into this and I would like to see medicine balls as a game piece.

A. Easily available
B. Although they are balls they are very different.
C. I really like the concept of real time scoring using weight sensors but Frisbees are not the right game piece for it.
D. They could use mostly 10lb but also have bonus balls weighing 20lbs

now imagine 10 Tubes in the center of the field. medicine balls could be stacked in tubes The two center tubes fit 5 each and all other tubes fit 3.

Tetras were challenging because of their size and weight. Lifting heavier objects can shift a robots CG and are quite the design challenge.

End Game: Climbing other robots like in 07 was really cool. I think there should be 2 raised platforms one red one blue 12 inches off the ground and big enough for only one robot. any robots off the non raised playing surface at the end of the match get X points
