Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast

Hmmm... Here are my thoughts on the matter of the game.

1) I believe there will be 2 platforms, one for each alliance. Each alliance consisting of 3 teams.

2) Each platform has 5 diamond plated "steps" that lead up to a rather large tube. The tube extends from the top of the platform to the bottom.

3) The game piece I feel will be either something made from PVC maybe like a capsule of some sort, or poof balls like Aim High. The game piece will be 2 colors, red and blue.

4) Each capsule dropped through the tube from the top of the platform will be worth 3 points. For each "opposing alliance" game piece is in the tube or in the corner goals are maybe a subtraction of points?

5) The human player is able to load the robots with the game piece. Or even shoot into the tube possibly to score some points or even take away.

6) To score 1 point you need to put the game piece in a different area other than the tube at the top of the platform. Maybe these will be located at the corners of the field?

7) For bonus points at the end is maybe dependant on the placement of robots on the "steps"? Maybe the first step is worth 5 the second 10 the third 15, etc. etc.

8) I can't figure out autonomous mode...

I don't know, I just spewed out some thoughts. I just got a headache from thinking and decided to say what I was thinking.
