Re: New VEX Game Announced!

That would seem to be the basic idea that everyone's working at. .

What'll set robots apart are

1. Storage. It was said earlier that it'll probably be a good idea to dump in the final moments of match in order to make sure that balls don't come back over. So in the final minutes of the match, which ever team controls more balls towards the end will most likely end up winning.

2. The post might end up playing a big role if a team manages to dump balls into the post and fill up both, then that is 30 points, right there. While during qualifications, matches tend to be clear cut, but during the finals, this might end up being a deciding factor.

3. Intaking and scoring the footballs is a given.

4. The large balls are also key. While the page says 10 points, that is ultimately a difference of 20 points between your score and the other teams score.

5. Good defensive robots can also block the wall and stop other robots from dumping balls. This will be crucial in the last seconds of the match as the offensive robots go to make their massive dump. This will also help when teams are making feverish attempts to get the large ball over the barrier.

Obviously everyone wants to dump, and most robots will figure out the basic dump, but robots which can figure how how to do the above will be extremely successful. I'm glad to say that we're currently working on finalizing a design which can do all o' the above. . muahahaha.
