Re: New Game Idea: ROBOT HOCKEY!!
Its been a fairly guarded secret so far, but I'll drop a few hints. The robot club here at MSOE has been working on an "ice bot" for a few months now. We've finally acquired all the parts we need, except for some victors and/or spikes (I think) and its growing closer and closer to a reality. I won't give you any hints on the drive system yet, but you'll love it (if it works).
The bot is a prototype for a college level (at least) competition in the Milwaukee area (and whoever wants to come) using...yep - you guessed it...ice. One small step at a time...
We toyed with the idea of next year's Milwaukee VEX League being on the ice, but there are some logistics we haven't figured out yet. The dream is not dead though...  MSOE's new Kern Center ice arena is perfect for this sort of thing...
