Re: Official FIRST STEAMWORKS Teaser and DLC Pack 1!

Here's what we have so far:
Steampunk Theme
Aircraft in the teaser and DLC
Game is called STEAMworks and there is a paintbrush, a hat, and an airship in the logo
Vex game has a fence, "stars", and cubes
Unusual game object likely
FTC Velocity Vortex has a rack-like object, whiffle balls, and small versions of exercise balls. There are also ramps in the corners.
AndyMark now has new USB adapters, "Tunnel Tape", Peanut Extrusion, 10" mecanum wheels, and a Peanut Chassis with two omni wheels.
The conveyor end is mysteriously scattered around the high-res STEAMworks wallpaper. It looks suspiciously like the Vex Starstruck fence.

I think there will be cubes, possibly as coal. At lest one tunnel and/or some other tight space seems likely. The field will probably be mostly open with few obstacles. There may be a fence or ladder like structure that game pieces could be placed on(minibot ladder climbing?) Maybe some mobile/rotating structure. What if the field elements themselves are robotic?

As for the pizza/wings/fried pickles thing, I think it was probably a hint at the theme. When you get a hot pizza, what do you see coming off of it? What about wings? Fried pickles? What is produced during the frying process? Steam! But what is used for frying? Oil...Maybe there will be oil in the game?

  8. Golf Balls
Balls were used in Stronghold, so I don't think we'll see them in STEAMworks, at least not as the primary game piece. Bean bags would be interesting though...
