Possible 2013 Game Idea

Haha, programming joke!

Seriously though, i wouldn't be surprised by a water game, FIRST is pretty creative. The game will probably be manipulating some sort of odd shape to score points, with a catch of course

The catch: The balls, field, and plexiglass surrounding the field will all be magnetic!

Almost all games have a catch but I just don't see it happening any time soon, It is just my opinion

If you notice there is sort of a pattern, every other year is ball related, the other years are logo related. Now i dont mean all three. Bins, squares, tetras, triangles, moonrocks, circle, tubes, all 3 combined. Not im not sure about my years and all that, but im quite certain that next year, will be square related...

I say we just play Breakaway again.

Who said anything about pneumatics not being allowed being a challenge? I know of at least one world champion with zero pneumatics aboard, and that's after pneumatics became common (there were several before then due to severe restrictions).

Next year's challenge is that metal isn't allowed on the robots, except under very strict exceptions.

4392 won't have a problem with that! the only metal we have is from the KOP

Metal in the KOP? Not given.

The exceptions I'm thinking of are: wiring and electronics, fasteners, and internal to actuation devices (which include motors and pneumatic cylinders).

Now you get the fun of finding alternative materials for everything. That includes gears as well as frame.

I loved Breakaway, and we rocked FLR in 2010... But I'd hate to see a repeat.

Same for 3397. Wood and PVC, UNITE!!!!!!

Even crazier than no metal would be no electronic combonents! No game, just see who can make the robot that runs the longest

All they have to do is create a crio that uses tubes of conductive gasses instead of wires. Shouldnt be that hard, right?????

Wow that would be something no metal on the robot. The only materials that come to mind now is wood and plastic type items.
