Re: evolving themes

Year 7 for me.

A general theme *may* be the following.
Balls every other year
Except when that pattern doesn't fit.


I would say long term we should see autonomous play a bigger role as the years go by. I envision a game that is 100% auto. You could, at anytime, take control with RC but you lose a multiplier or points based on how long you ran auto.

For Rookies, who probably wouldn't attempt full auto they would have player control on the field against auto veterans. Could be interesting.

Also a constant theme is usually something above 6 foot in the air (soon i hope it will say 2 meters in the air but thats not important) a goal, place to put something, place to hang, whatever. Looks better to spectators is what I have always heard.

I hope we have maxed at 130 pounds. i would like that to drop. OSHA wouldn't allow 2 people to pick up one of the robots we have teenagers hauling around the field.

My 3.5 cents
