Re: The 4 Big Questions!

Here are the 4 questions...

Question #1: What is the object? (i.e. Balls, Bins, Tubes, Floppies...)

Main scoring objects red and blue soccer balls. Now for the multiplier. Does anyone here have a dog that has one of those maze balls where you put some dog food it in and the dog bats the ball around to get the food. Black multiplier balls are placed in a giant one of those maze balls so the robots have to be able to turn the big ball.

Question #2: What is the goal? (i.e. Large moving tower, puck, goal post...)

A mesh tube shaped like an upside-down Y, where all three legs have holes. Except the bottom two have a plate that slides back and forth to release all the balls in that leg as well as the top of the Y. I haven't decided how high off the ground all of this is. The Y's are in the middle of each side of the field. They are held up by a pole continuing down from the top of the Y, so the entire goal structure ends up looking kind of like the inside of a peace sign.

Question #3: What is the special playing field surface trait? (i.e. Ramp, Water, Corn...)

There are two horseshoe shaped ramps set up along the side of the field so the two U's face each other. running between the two ramps is a platform. In the middle the platform is 12" high, and between the U's and the middle is 6" high. One 6" platform is blue zone, and one is red. Bonus points for being on the 12" high section at the end

Question #4: What will be the most contraversial rule?

In order to get any points from the red and blue balls, an alliance must get at least one black ball. (doesn't matter how many other balls you got if you multiply them by zero)

<edit> Forgot to add the big maze balls starts on the top platform. The big maze balls is also worth bonus points at the end for whichever alliance gets it on their 6" platform at the end.</edit>
