Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
Because the parts list includes both photosensors and those touchpads that the scorers use (Panelview plus CE1000 touch), I predict that this game will include both automatic and manual scoring. The Very High Speed Counters will be used for counting the automatic scoring.
The Panelmount selectable LEDs are most likely a kit item, seeing as there are 2500 of them. |

Guys, guys, guys. Calm down. It's not a water game. It's a mineral water game.

No, no, no. Don't disregard past clues. Remember "mulling"? Apple Cider!

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
I see it being related to two things:
1. Pinball 2. Pushing buttons to do something/get something done. But I dont know, thats how I see it. |

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
Now I am imagining a field shaped like a triangle... Slopes going down each side, the robot's goal is to score into a goal like a pinball game. Except the field is made out of regolith so you can't actually climb the triangle without traction. At the same time the top of the triangle is exactly like Breakaway's bumps. The game specific piece being a... bowling ball!!
I can already see kick-off... Telling us that we need to make our robots robust because there will be bowling balls flying around. On top of all of this they will still make it a water game by creating a fountain of water all along the pinnacle of the triangle. The water is just a light stream of course, but we have to protect our robots from water damage! I predict the 2012 game will be the best game ever! |

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
The field system uses sounds to alert FTA's and scorekeepers of various warnings. Those probably go with the new fields being built.

What I meant to imply was that if the game pieces are small and need to be counted quickly (as suggested by the previous posters who noted the high-speed counters and photosensors with a narrow field of view), teams that want to practice effectively (which includes practice dealing with the quirks of the field) may want to replicate the scoring apparatus, electronics and all. (For example, during a simulated game, keeping track of the state of 200 small balls might be more difficult than the state of a couple dozen large ones, as we had in 2006.) Of course, this is merely speculation. I do recognize that the narrow field of view of a photosensor can also imply game pieces of indeterminate size, close to the sensor. |

Re: First Official 2012 Game Hint
If the IR sensors have a narrow (8 degree?) field of view, then they are not likely to be used to count game pieces going into a large target opening (i.e. 2006 goal or the top of a basket). There are better sensors for that.
Besides counting game pieces, the high speed recorders could be used to measure the speed of an object passing between two sets of sensors. These items could also be configured into a linear or rotary encoder to measure speed and displacement of some moving part of a field element. With the Kinect supposedly being used as part of the drivers station during autonomous, I expect to see moveable field elements. They would be repositioned after the bots are set on the field, and HP's would use the Kinect to steer the robot to them. |
