Re: Robotics game as fundraising ideas

At the Vex Championship in 2013 there was a game of sorts with simple vex robots with a bumper switch on the back. The goal was to drive around and hit another robot's bumper switch to disable it (stop it from being able to drive). If the bumper was hit again then the robot was reenabled. You could make this into more of a game by having two teams and seeing which team could disable the other teams robots more times in a limited amount of time. Or you could see which team had more robots enabled at the end of a set amount of time. To get your own robot reenabled during the game, your teammate would have to press your bumper switch. It would work similar to freeze tag.
