Dr Joe Breaks His Own Rule...

Okay, I can't help myself here is my guess (AND IT IS ONLY A GUESS BASED ON PUBLIC DATA -- I HAVE NO SPECIAL ACCESS TO GAIN SPECIAL INFO):

Prediction #1
Dr Joe Confidence Level: 90%
Flat carpeted floor -- nothing in the BOM gives us any thing to even make a non-flat floor with.

Prediction #2
Dr Joe Confidence Level: 40%
One Goal on casters
Square goal 4X4 ft.
Nipples & flanges will provide offet for upper deck made from second half of plywood base.
Upper Deck will have a large hold (probably round) cut out of it in the center.
3" PVC Conduit will mount to center of lower deck, probably cut to 8 ft tall
1" PVC Conduit will be place upright through the middle of the Nipples & Flanges (1.25 dia holes in the uppper deck will be required of course). They will probably be cut to 6 ft tall or so. My guess on the pattern is that they will be in a square pattern with 5 per side for a total of 16 uprights.


Predition #3
Dr Joe Confidence Level: 50%
Game Piece will be toroids (but probably not painted inner tubes, I am thinking inflatable floaties or unpainted inner tubes)

Predition #4
Dr Joe Confidence Level: 30%
Scoring will be based on getting tubes on PVC pipes or supported by upper and lower decks. Bonus points (or perhaps a doubler) will be given for getting the goal into specific areas of the field (e.g. across a center line or into an end zone).


There! That is my guess.

What is yours?

Joe J.
