Finding that balance... well, it's not exactly easy.
Im just trying to show that the game cant be too easy.

You're right. But, you can't make it too difficult, either.

Re: 2012 Game?

Last season was my first in FRC, and although i was only previously involved in FIRST i have noticed a pattern in tubes, large balls, balls with air pockets(lunacy), and soccer balls. I have and odd feeling that next year may be giant balls, perhaps a more sport oriented game. The main joke with me was an underwater game, but that, (far down the road!) may happen as well.

You're missing the point. Simple is not equal to easy, they are two different factors. For example the game "go" has only a handful of rules, but takes years to master.

Re: 2012 Game?

Today someone posted a thread about how 2012 will be the 40th anniversery of Ed Catmull making a 3D render of a hand. Ed went on to found Pixar. What if the game has to with something like this?

The thread is here

I doubt the use of legos, unless glued together they would fall apart in the FRC competitions, remember the "baby on the highway" minibots? Think about a bunch of legos exploding on a field. That being said, I do think minibots will return, I just hope we have less strict motor regulations.

Properly put together, LEGOs will take a pretty good beating. Use the Technic pieces and joints, though. And maybe some adhesive here and there.

Re: 2012 Game?

I feel like people would just re use their breakaway robots for a hockey game, if it actually is set up like hockey though. I wouldnt put it past the GDC though because the robot designs for the 2005 game and the 2007 were similar.

And if they were to re use minibots, how could they incorporate that with hockey?

Well, you need a puck, don't you?

Yup, we were at Raleigh.

Let's say your alliance minibots are the other alliance's scoring pucks. Program them to evade the big robots - self-preservation mode.

Gee folks, wouldn't that be fun? I forget - was duct tape a legal minibot part last year?
