Re: Possibility for 2016 Game

Going back to the topic at hand, most of previous year's games that were interesting to watch were somewhat based off of real sports, such as basketball or soccer. The game has to be both feasible for rookie teams and a challenge for the heavyweights, and by basing it off a real life sport, which also have to be interesting on both a casual and professional level, seems like the most effective strategy for the GDC. When you go through the list of non-contact sports that are popular in the world, volleyball/tennis seems like the next contender for the robot game. It would also likely address some of the concerns about programming not being emphasized enough in FIRST, as many vision tracking robots are likely to be seen at comps if this happens.
