Re: 2009 here we come!

I think it would be cool to have a game where you would have to make a walking robot. Of course a biped would be kind of hard, but if you look at some quad/hex-apods out there, the legs rotate up and over (instead of lifting up and setting back down again) in a sequence similar to how 4-legged animals walk.

Like if there were big, immovable blocks/giant speed bumps on the playing field placed a half a foot away. Similar to the big blocks of concrete that (I think the British) put in fields to stop tanks in WWII. You couldn't drive a robot on wheels through them, so you'd have to make a robot that goes over them. It would be an interesting challenge.
