we can get that from Dave Lavery

would be no extra programming, since it is just a match on it's own

should not be terribly hard to make, it's a small series of random number commands and data lists, plus a multi-round score-keeping system. no biggie. even i could probably handle that, lol

really the same thing as regionals, just more robots, and the addition of divisions

i guess this shouldn't be too much trouble, considering we would be making the game in C++ anyway, so we would just have the program reference itself

this is basically what the game is. it is like going into a video game and having the character walk up to an arcade machine and play that very video game. should not take long

this would be one of the lower priorities, being that it only adds visual appeal, but i can't say i thought of it -- good job

very good idea, though i'm not sure if it would be tricky or not. our head animator did a great job of animating with CAD, so you should go to him (TeknoBramha)

all this is great! i'm really glad to have you guys helping
