Re: 2014 Game

American Football/rugby

There are pvc or aluminum pipes scattered around the field. There are white, red, and blue pipes. You can stack these pipes on 2 bases placed on your side of the field.
The autonomous period is the first 30 seconds. Each robot can start with one pole and other poles will be placed in specific places around the field. Your alliance scores 5pts for every pole stacked during this time. After autonomous, points can not be scored for stacking.
There will be oval shaped balls scattered around the field. The "goal" is to shoot these ball from a zone behind your opponents goal, across the field through your own goal or into alliance robots on the other side of the field. You can only shoot between your alliance color pipes. The higher your alliance pipes, the more points you score. There will be sensors on these pipes that will count the number of balls that go through them. Opponents can't touch your alliance pipes, however, they can take other white pipes. The goals are made up of two towers of stacked pipes on your alliance side.
You score 1pt for every ball shot into one of your alliance members (you must be behind your opponents goal posts, your alliance member must be past the center of the field). You score 2pts*lvls tall that your alliance poles are, for every ball shot full court, from behind your opponents goal post. You can only score if the alliance poles are at the same level. You can unstack your opponents goal as long as they havn't placed an alliance pole on top yet.
During the last 30 seconds the engame occurs. At that point, you are allowed to begin unstacking your own goal posts. For each post completely unstacked your alliance gets 10 pts.

The design of the poles is probably the most complicated part in making this game work.

This is basically a stacking/unstacking/shooting game.
