Hi I haven't posted hear in a while. As long as next years game doesn't have any more balls/goals Im happy. Hear are some of my ideas for differnt games:
Just a little sidenote a few people have been posting about using tracks for robots to ride on well hears a competition that uses that idea.
just read the link

Hear are my ideas
Minesweeper-mines are in the sand and your job is to build a robot tough enough to destroy(read set the mines off) them. The arena would be nothing but sand and plastic mines in the ground. The robot which sets off the most mines wins. Of course this would require a big amount of sand.
Streetsweeper-build a robot that can sweep the ground up of garbage. Robots have to be able to pick up garbage and deposit them into a bin. The robot that collects the most garbage wins. This would be easy just build a plywood floor and collect as much trash as you can and throw it on the floor. Buy two big bins and place them on both sides of the arena. The arena can be the same size as last time.
Robot soccer-Two robots on each side compete with goals on eacg side of the arena. The object is to get the balls into the goals. One robot on each side plays defense and one robot on each side plays offense.
:edit:
lol someone beat me to this idea hehe its a really cool idea i like it but it should be challenging read below and combine both ideas
Wheel-less wonders-Builder a machine that doesn't use wheels but actually walks. You probably could combine this idea with robot soccer. It would be cool except you'd probably need to chage the minimum deminsions for the robot.
:editing again:
ooo I have another good idea that you should think about. You should tape all the reginals and each team gets a copy of the reginals tape that each team went to
:edit yet another idea:
bridging machines-the object is to build a machine that can cross a large ravine buy deploying a bridge to cross. The machine must be able to redeploy the bridge once it crosses the ravine. The arena probably will be raised a little bit and will be made out of wood. The hole should be only as high as the teeter toters from two years ago if i remeber corretly to prevent major damage being done to a robot.
Ill give anyone a cookie if they guess which show I got most of these ideas from.
