One of the things that bothers me about the games now is that all of the points are right infront of the robots. The goals were straight ahead, the balls to the left and right. So all we had to do was hit the gas and stear to the left and right. Question, what if we put the scoring behind or below/above the robots? Now, here is my solution, what if the robots were on a 2 foot podeum, the surface area is the max dimension of the robot allowed. There will be a slope down to the front of the scoring field. behind the robots will be 10 weights. Each with varrieing weights. Each one will count a certin amount of points. A green weight, 10 lbs, would count 10 pts. A blue weight, a 40 lber, would be 40 pts. The robots would have to pick them up and put them into goals, which are positioned to the direct left and right of the podeums you start on. They will be 3 ft wide and will be square shapped. The robots will only be able to push them, not latch onto them. There will be a 1 ft. tall piece of wood that you would have to put the weights on. The goals will weigh 30 lbs, and thus, count 30 points. Each robot will count, nothing. This will be more intresting because there will be a more fight for the death, rather than a mad sprint and leave 5 secs on the clock. Each match will be 2:30 mins. It will be a 2 vs. 2 like this year. There will be four goals total. 20 weights in total. The weights will range from 1 lbs to 50 lbs. You can pick up the goals by a.) sliding a fork lift thing under it to pick it up or b.) pick it up by a handal on top. The middle of the field will be the scoring zone, but there will only be enough room for 3 of the 4 goals, to make it intresting. Each goal will be colored and the weights in that goal will count for the appropreate team. More details to come soon along with photos.
