Re: Next Years Game?
A water Competition would be good but.... not to put all the teams down but some teams have a hard time building a robust robot. To build one thats 100% waterproof will be trying and hard espicially with the currently set 130lbs. w/ battery.
Another issue that may arise is this robots would be small ones. for the simple fact that you cannot lift a 130lb robot out of the water w/o a crane. The playing field would not be very big either.
I too would like to see a water competition but it would be too hard of game. Many things would have to be changed and the problem would be how interesting could it get.
If anything I would like to see Multipliers and many scoring options available with the "Winner Gets the Loser Score for QP's" And the 0 - 1 - 2 Method for Ranking.
Same Field, maybe with hanging objects in which robots have to retrieve and place in their Respective alliance zones. Maybe put the E-Stop Buttons to use again and end the match at your own free willing. Almost like in 2001 where where if you ended the match after a certain time you get an X amount of points. This type of game wouldn't be very spectator friendly but nevertheless has some ideas that could be usable.
