Go to Post It seems ironic to me that a robotics competition would come down to human error, which is precisely what the field of robotics attempts to prevent. - David8696 [more]

My dream game. Since we're at reliant stadium we'll use the football field. But the bots will need to be bigger so max dimensions are 8ft x 12ft x 12ft. The crates can be 6ft x 6ft x 6ft plywood boxes(similar to most teams crates). Rules are the same as this years game. The kit of parts include an old pickup truck.
only problem with this is that me and my friend can't lift that robot and carry it through a standard size door. that's the only reason we have a limit on weight/size of robots. that, and the fact that bigger stuff costs more, specifically more money that many teams don't have as is. of course, nothing's stopping you from turning an old pickup into a robot...

i agree with the general idea that this year's game was, well, dull. i know there's gotta be something more interesting, such as the puck and the bridge (i wasn't in FIRST then, but i've seen movies/heard stories). i mean, yes, the ramp was interesting this year, but way too overvalued. that's the other problem. points must be given fairly. if a ball in a goal is one point, don't make that goal worth 100 points if it's in a certain place. otherwise, teams ignore the low points. hence, this year, we had almost no stacks.
