* this is the completed post i had tried to post several times over*
Title: Canyon Crossing
Field : The field overall has the same paremeters as this years.Except no massively huge ball drop overhead, and no trigger balls. On the field in front of the player's station there is a seven foot high trough to score 13"balls in. In the middle of the field, there is a 3ft wide gap on each side there is a 1' high wall with a moderate ramp leading away. There also is a 5' high bar that starts at the begining of the red side's ramp and extends to the start of the blue side's ramp. At one end of the gap there is an opening on the red side and at the other end is the blue side's opening. The opening is wide enough for only 1 robot to pass through.
Game Piece : on each side there are about 20 13"balls which are for the other side and are worth 5 points each FOR THE OTHER SIDE. The human player has 4 10 point 13" balls which he/she places on the field for the other alliance. The alliances are 2 robots per side.
Robots : The robots have the same dimensions as this year. They have to cross the gap in order to retrive points though. They can cross either by traversing the Bar, crossing a "bridge" robot, be thier own bridge, or enter the gap on one side cross the gap, and exit on the other side. the robot may collect balls and score or herd to human player so that he/she may score. Human players place 4 10 point 13" balls on the field before auton begins. These balls are also for the other side. The opponents balls are worth points only after they have been scored for the opponent for five seconds, otherwise they are deducted from your final score at full value.
Autonomous : Starts after HP places their 4 10 point balls for the other side on the field. Robot may do what it does for 30 seconds.
Scoring: assuming we are RED
5 points for each 5 point red ball
2 points for each 5 point blue ball
10 points for each 10 point red ball
5 points for each 10 point blue ball
20 points for each hanging red robot in the gap.
so have 10 red 5 point balls, 3 blue 5 point balls, 2 red 10 point balls, 3 blue 10 point balls, 2 robots hanging.
We have (10*5)+(3*2)+(2*10)+(3*5)+(2*20)=131
