Dean also put a lot of emphasis on how boeing had an unlimited KOP, no restrictions to what a minibot can be made out of next year?
So maybe we will be working with FLL teams next year, that would work well for a maze type endgame involving a minibot. And what do you mean about boeing?

Football would be sick. And just stating this but Lunacy was compared heavily to basketball so that could be speculated. Outside of a sport though with FIRST and Dean Kamen's mind combined with Woodie Flowers' and now Will.I.Am as well.

Re: 2012 Game?

A variation on the constantly proposed "water game" - hockey? (Maybe not on real ice...)

Football would be difficult to abstract into a FIRST game, IMO...

Dean called attention to Boeing not having a kit of parts--or a 6-week build season--at Championship.

He's right. They don't. They have something much, much worse:

Endless possibilities and a bit of time combined with Red tape. (How long you define "bit" to be is, well, up to you and/or the project they're working on.)

Re: 2012 Game?

My only wish for next years game is it to not revolve around handling one object at a time. 09 was 1 soccer ball, this year was 1 tube. I think a cool challenge lies within handling a mass amount of smaller objects efficiently inside of a robot.

Weren't the soccer balls used in Breakaway, the game of 2010? 2009 was Lunacy.

Re: 2012 Game?

I have great idea!
a squre field(38X38 feet) the same size.
3 alliances of two robots per alliance.(6 robots)
the winning alliance gets to the CMP(only two winners)
driver station will be at 3 sides of the square.
the forth side will be open to the crowd(someone need to see the game)
the robots start infront of the two other alliance stations.(mixed start)
I am not sure about the game but this can be really good idea for every game (it's refreshing design)
the game:
the robots need to shoot ball to a target. if you scored you can set put the minibot to 10 seconds in a maze; the minibot can score points in the maze.
after the 10 seconds the minibot must return to the hostbot.

Re: 2012 Game?

I still like the hockey idea (coming from a 12 year player). the "checking" could be very interesting, along with the scoring of the goals. Goalie, anyone?

Re: 2012 Game?

What about a game that has two different game pieces that you have to put together. Maybe PVC pipes with magnets on the end that you have to slide into a hole and attach it to a piece that has another magnet that is in the hole. Then pull it back out and place it somewhere else, maybe on a steel scoring plate. Each PVC pipe is a point, but if it has the second piece on it it is worth 3 points.
