I am a member of diamond bullet studios. For everyone looking for the diamond bullet studios website, it just went live and is not yet searchable. The site is dbsgames.net

My dreams of playing Aim High came true!!

[Chris27]

Does anyone have a link to the game animation? I missed the 2nd half of it as the webcast cut out on my end.

I'm confused, so each team has 3 inbounders, right? One of them is playing Kinetimals while the others are doing nothing, but when teleop activates, does that inbounder run to their alley window, or is one of the other inbounders already there? Are the other 2 inbounders passing balls to the window?

Please elaborate.

The 2012 game animation is up on the FIRST Youtube channel. Enjoy!

http://youtu.be/A_3pKX-ch7k is the one I uploaded; there's probably better quality copies floating around at this point but that's workable.

So...anyone else thinking of just building a robot that just blocks the other teams hoops *except for the high hoop cause we can't reach.

Can a human player throw the ball into the basket?

When in the match are you asking? Take a look at rule [G32]. I don't see anything prohibiting a human player from trying... under the conditions of [G32], though, there's a time to try it.

Has anybody found what the material of the ramps in the actual game will be? The team drawings show to use plywood, but what will they be in the actual game?

Goin' over ya. That's a 18" hoop, 6" off the backboard, horizontal. You can't go more than 14" horizontally from your Frame Perimeter, and the Fender starts 38" from the wall. 18"+6"=24", +14" =3 8". You can't block the hoops from a shot coming in from above without getting on top of an 8.25" tall sloped Fender.

It's all about the math.--Mark Leon
