Well we have had barriers and other things blocking traffic from one side to the other I don't think we will ever have a game where there is no way to interact with every robot on the field, though it would make for strategy during set up a lot of fun

Unrelated to the post a bit, but is that Grant Imahara from Mythbusters and Karthik in that video?!?!? That's awesome.

Interesting concept, the robots actually do interact quite a bit, fighting to push balls over the wall, and they have to react every time balls switch sides. elements like this could work in FRC, but probably not an entirely sectioned field.

Haha I noticed Karthik..thought process: Is that Karthik?? "Chaaaammmpppiiioooonnnsss..." Yupp, that's Karthik alright.

As far as the 2013 game will be, it's certainly going to be a non-sport, and I cast my vote as well for something with an enhanced autonomous mode, given the past two years, a high scoring end game, but I don't think it's going to be a simple field.

It is Grant. Kari Byron (also mythbusters) was at the championship the year after that.

That sounds right. Aren't the games designed years before they are played? Maybe this game was designed after 2009 or something. The designers probably wouldn't queue multiple sports games in a row unless they decided on really spectator-friendly games for the rest of FRC.

Based on what I have heard, only in the last few years have they planned ahead for games, before that they were made the year before. Rumor has it that they are just about done with 2013 and have a good start on 2014. (note: this is mostly rumors, it is not certainly correct)

That would be a good timeline.

Now, they really only went into the planning ahead in the last couple of years... but better late than never. Games still aren't designed more than a year or two in advance, though.

If this implies they might keep getting farther ahead:

I think the GDC will limit themselves to designing the next two games, because:

Imagine some part of the 2013 game is terrible and everyone (including the GDC) agrees it shouldn't come back. The GDC wouldn't want to have a game queued up for four years later (possibly similar, because of all new students) that incorporates that same aspect, then have to redesign it.

Less years ahead means better reaction times on improvements to the games. I think future games will get consistently better, the more "bad ideas" have been eliminated, and the more good element combinations are found.

I believe how it works is they have the basic game set for next year but they are still testing and changing little things. This leads me to believe that if it is a small rule that everyone hates, it could easily be fixed.

Well the point was that they just started working ahead recently (after 2011 I believe) and if they continue to get more games ready, and then one needs changing, it detracts from the schedule and causes a domino effect of inconveniences as everyone has to shift gears and reopen a closed case. It's not likely going to be an issue regardless of what happens.

Yup, so we don't have to shell out exorbitant amount of cash for those practice fields!
