The pyramids on the left far side are autoloaders, I plan on making around 20 normal tetras so I can make this like a board game.

If you want my rules for let me know.

Questions?

Give me time...the straws I use would make the robots like HUGE compared to the goals...so I will have to find something else to make them with.

No no, I mean real robots that really work and drive and stuff. They'd have to be really small though. Hrmm. My local hobby store has some tiny servos on sale. Maybe they could be modified for continuous rotation, and then you could use a basic stamp (no board, too big) and an IR remote. That'd probably end up costing too much though.

Heck I could just get those little "Zip-Zap" cars or something like that. They couldn't score the tetras but still.

And they could gain a 10 pt advantage for being in their endzone at the end.. w00t.

here... for the zipzaps idea... make the goals bigger... put little 3 sidded box things on them so that when they drive and stop fast in front of a goal *or hit one* the ball falls INTO the goal... and teams w/ the most marbles in that goal owns it... but you would have to make the goals bigger and the field a lil bit bigger but still sounds like fun

I would...but this all goes back to being a demo tool for the game we had to play...so I think the marble idea would be off the wall...but heck for my own use that would rock.

We had something like that when we presented right after the build period.
