Re: 2014 Game

Ok, so I’ve spent like 3 hours on chief Delphi looking through possibilities for the 2014 game (don't you go judging me), and here are my final proposals:

Hockey-based game due to the winter Olympics, FIRST seems to make a game over a year that has a sporting event

Tennis-based, 100th anniversary of tennis is 2014

Frank had quoted saying about Tom baker, the fourth doctor, in a post. and in the September 27th post, there was obvious the field on a comupter screen that is being covered up, as well as the old FIRST logo last used in 2004, which was 10 years ago. So possibly something in relation to picking up objects. We’ve had two years in a row of a shooting game, no way that will be the case again, its time for another game where you have to be able to pick or move objects.

The glow in the dark based game. There was a student who made his way into the Dean's List room at worlds, and one of the FIRST officials had stated that next year it will be a good idea to get a glow in the dark measuring tape. Also, Andymark just released a LED drive base kit to make your robots GLOW!

I would see how making a dark field would make it no fun for the audience, so what about a game where the robots are "in the dark" so-to-speak where they have no camera? or vision processing? or maybe the drivers will have to make their way through some tricky obstacle without seeing? IDK.
