Re: 2012 Game?

Though I highly doubt a water game, I am looking forward to a sports-themed game. I completely agree with DSM33's post on how Breakaway brought FRC this much closer to being an actual sport. Our team has been trying to make robotics more popular by building robots that can play sports (to a point). We are currently in the process of making a bot that will have a large hopper in the back to catch footballs, and have a launcher, either pneumatic-powered or surgical tubing-powered (tell me which one we should use). We will then bring the robot out to games and catch footballs and launch them, as if we were playing a real game. It would all be controlled, but we were thinking of later on adding sensors so it could aim towards the field-goals and avoid opponents.
