First of all, I think this thread is AWESOME...drawing varied responses and excellent opinions. I guess, with respect to the "PRIVE DIRECTIVE", here's my take on 2001:

I loved the challenge of the game this year. Although as a driver, I also got heightened pressure during rounds (ugh...manual-balancing), but it was still fun. The aspect of time was another daring addition to the game. Again...heavy pressure on driver, but wonderful to say the least. Simpler...no...that would take all the fun out. More attractive...yes...we NEED to get some television coverage.

In order to do this, we MAY have to return to a 2v2 game. In THAT CASE ONLY, the game could return to a simpler format. The addition of the defense dynamic into the game will provide complex enough situations that wouldn't call for complex scoring tactics.

If we DO stay in the 4-working-together format, then the difficult game is a necessity. Well, a simpler scoring system would help, making it easier to explain (especially over television). However, we need to have multiple possibilities for scoring tasks. That way, you see many variations in robot design. The only problem with this is: how do you simplify the scoring system and still have many different ways to score? I think that may be a big issue in designing the 2002 game.

Somehow, I think any more than 4 robots on the field would be hard to keep track of...especially for the audience, as well as the drivers. Basketball would be fun, in fact it would probably be an interesting sight to see. Another thought, I had the impression of using footballs as scoring tools this year at the slight mention of "endzone" during the Kick-off. Now, if you thought the "warped" Sport Fun balls were tough..imagine using oval-shaped footballs...

Anyway, I am anticipating another AWESOME challenge in 2002. See you all at the next regional (or *gasp* even nationals)!

Just my personal thoughts...

Chris, #368
