Re: FVC GDC wants your feedback
I stewed on this idea for a bit, and I think it might work for something like FVC.
Imagine a big bin full of the game object du jour on each side of the field. (I'll assume ping-pong balls.) On all four corners of the field are tubes for robots to receve these balls, and a Vex bumper switch to cause balls to roll into the tubes.
Here's the rub, though--once in the tubes, the balls can either roll into the tube where your robot is, or another tube that empties out at the other end of the field. With good coordination and the right alliance partner, this is a non-issue--but if you're either unlucky or don't plan right, you're opening the barn door for the other alliance to steal some of those balls.
