Re: 2014 Game

I see many recent posts have gone off topic.... but here is a an actual game idea that some friends and I thought of.

What if the endgame was for the robot to go to the corners of the field, and the teams would get points for every corner they are touching?

Assuming FIRST outlaws tethers, the way to do this would be that the robots separate into smaller robots. A teams big robot could consist of 4 robots put together.

Of course this means FIRST might have to change the bumper rules , and put in a rule making it so each sub robot has to start in a center zone and be self powered (or something in that manner). I think it would both be very cool and and interested curve-ball challenge for elite level teams. Any thoughts?

Also, 2014 ARM GAME!
