2016 Game Prediction - Football

[rick.oliver]

I predict that the 2016 game will have a football theme; in honor of the 50th Super Bowl.

We will see weight limits based on speed (sort of like Rack 'n Roll); heavier robots will be limited in top end speed. Robots will be required to "wear" helmets, with face masks, in addition to the shoulder pads (bumpers).

For all of those who missed the ruff and tumble defensive play, this will be your game.

The end-game bonus will be the ability to "tear down" the goal posts; however, your alliance must be leading with 10 seconds remaining or you will be DQ'ed.

Will there be as many stoppages as a football game?
2.5min matches may last 15min then.

To compensate, matches will be 11 on 11. Good luck strategizing, teams.

Also, the field will randomly flood and drain four times to represent game quarters.

As a strategy coach, I don't get why this would be perceived as a negative. More robots on your alliance means more tools in your collective toolbox to play with in formulating a gameplan. That'd be awesome.

One robot must be designated as the QUARTERBACK before the match begins. The QUARTERBACK must begin with the ball and only that robot can throw the ball.

[Dan Petrovic]

I like it. Only one question remains, though.

How closely guarded will the game piece air pressure be?

Another thing to keep in mind for the 2016 game is that it will be the 25th season of FRC.

That means they'll be doing a modern update of Maize Craze instead and hold off on the football game til 2017.

Goal posts are pool noodles with green or red tape, depending on which alliance they are for.

I feel this game would produce the corniest jokes of them all...

So maybe Logomotion Redux?
