Either way, here's another idea (or a wrench in the gears): What if it was interactive? The floats stop at times - pick up a few drivers and/or players - let them drive and play the game. Again, it'd have to be simple. And of course everyone is going to scream "you can't do it...to dangerous." I think if the game is simpler and the right precautions are taken, it's feasible, although still a crazy idea. But imagine if they got those boring (IMHO) announcers off that stand and down on the float to play a round or two |
What if you had prepicked audience members? I realize that takes away from the non-FIRST ers interacting with the robots, but it increases safety AND makes it seem like any random person can be in FIRST, which is what FIRST is about ...
But that might be considered lying for some people ...
