That's interesting....
As the "Force from the North" with four robots named Blizzard, you can imagine that we've had discussions about how our various robots would perform on ice. That was even a major motif in our 2000 animation.
In our scientific opinion, our best robot for ice hockey would have been Blizzard 3 (of 2002), with its metal-cleated wheels (before that was rendered illegal), 9 ft/s top speed and low centre of gravity.
If they just cover up the ice at the Canadian Regional, instead of removing it (the Hershey Centre is an arena) maybe we can take the robot for a quick spin afterward....
