Re: Next Year's Game?
The more I think about it, the more I love EricVanWyk's ball sorting idea.
Imagine two goals on opposite ends of the field. Some sort of obstacle/endgame item in the middle (a 4x4 all the way across the field? A ramp? A bar to hang on?). FIRST Frenzy-esque ball chutes that release a mixture of white and black (for example) balls.
Red wants the black balls in goal 1 and the white ones in goal 2. Blue wants the white balls in goal 1 and the black ones in goal 2.
Robots can sort the balls themselves using their sensing capabilities, or they can give the balls to their human players to be sorted by hand and re-deposited into the robots or the goals directly. Or, maybe you decide to build a robot that selectively picks up only a certain color of ball. Or...
I get really excited thinking about how various teams would try and solve this problem.
