If every team had a publicly distributed copy of the year's game and could play online with their cadded robot then.. wow.. that would be nothing short of awesome!
Yep - Dave Stevens, some other programmers and I (LM employees at the Manassas VA campus) put together a simple game for Overdrive. Considering that we cobbled it together in our spare time after the build season started, we thought it turned out really well.

We showed it off at the NASA/VCU Regional in Richmond VA (always a good time). We and our guests (the students) had a lot of fun with it

Dave, I and the other folks have many of the the same ambitions as many of the folks who put posts into this thread and others.

Why don't you add your desires to the info/suggestions already in this thread here about "our" game or the in other thread mentioned there.

Like the other fellow suggested (it is always a good idea to search before (re)starting threads).
