Potential new game?

Hello everybody, I believe I have found a new game hint. if you look at the FIRST choice list, you see that they are selling steel tracks. It might just be thoughts getting derailed, but perhaps we are on the track to a train game. Think about it, there has not been a significant drivetrain change in a long time. It is always the standard wheels and tread. How cool would it be if instead, the robots had no treads, but instead had wheels which ran on the tracks. Don't blow your steam at me, just consider why Andymark would have steel tracks.

See you later, and just remember, On the old trains the engineer had a lot of esteem.

Logomotion 2: revenge of the minibot?

Anyway, the rails were in FIRST Choice last year, and we didn't get a train game then.

That's a logical fallacy: the gambler's fallacy! Just because it didn't happen last year doesn't count this year out!

Re: Potential new game?

Why is this here? It's OBVIOUSLY a water game.

Someone should run some data on how long each thread takes on average to mention water and game.

Re: Potential new game?

I also thought this was odd. I would though say it has more chances of being an arm game where the tracks would be used for arm extension, and anyone in this year would never have had an arm game, more than a limiting game of train track.

Re: Potential new game?

Game-specific FIRST choice will be posted after kickoff, so anything in there right now is not game specific.

Re: Potential new game?

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have a game on tracks, unless the components were. Imagine having set paths to take, it could take away the cooperation portion, and defensive. Of course there are possibilities, such as one where you had to hit switches beside the track to change tracks, or move pieces down the track and put them in a neighbors robot, and they move it down. A game is possible, but not practical at all, they would have to make tracks for every field, and that would get expensive. I highly doubt we would see a shift to this, rather the rails were donated by a sponsor specifically. Good thought though.
