: May I further suggest that we come up with common terminology for various roles in the game? For example we have been refering to robots that control the bridge position as "gatekeepers" and robots that move objects around the field as "tugs". We could say that a robot that goes under the bar can "limbo" while one that goes over can "hurdle". I don't think we've come up with terms for robots that pick up balls or balance the bridge yet.

Great idea Chris!

May I suggest:
"bridge tender" for those that gatekeep and balance the bridge.
"topper" for those that score the big ball (some may call them "greedy" - just kidding :-) )
"squater" for those that just sit in the end zone.
"hercules" for those that push/pull/place 2 goals onto the bridge and balance it all by themselves.

How about being a little more specific with roles for "tugs":

"bulldozer" for those that PUSH the stretcher with a robot on it over the bridge.
"hauler" for those the PULL the stretcher with a robot on it over the bridge.
"plow" those that PUSH the goal up the bridge.
"tow truck" those that PULL the goal up the bridge.

Can you think of others?

Raul
