I just makes more sense considering we'd like to save the other 2 CIMs for the lifebuoy thrower.

or maybe we can make paddlewheels with paddles at 45 degree angles such that they make an X from above, allowing you motion in all directions without a waterproof swerve module...

I vote 4 submersible CIM propulsion pods, independently rotated. Now to find some inexpensive high traction props. Hrm, this might take more research than I'd anticipated.

Hockey! Can be played with either one or multiple game pieces, and the robots whip a ball around the field (on the ground) and score them into goals, while one robot defends said goal.

No regolith though! Nothing even remotely similar. Never again.

I want a stacking game

Hockey, with carpet floor in the center and regolith hills on each end. part of the game is adding more game pieces by hitting a pressure plate at the top of each regolith hill, thus giving the Teams co-op points, and a chance to score so many more points

I still want a hockey game! Return of the Regolith anybody?

But a non-shooting game would be nice too...

NO. *Insert grumpy cat (but I'm too lazy to actually do so).

I'm game for the Hockey, as my post above stated. No regolith though!

Here, I put together a really quick and sketchy video of my interpretation of an FRC Hockey Game. Comments and game design suggestions welcome, of course.

With all due respect, you suck, sir.

Hey now, I know it'd not up to GDC standards, but I don't have a lot of practice at this yet. I only had half an hour to come up with that.

My apologies. Should have been more considerate...

Wait no, it's not a hoax! It's the ACTUAL GAME HINT!

What do you mean by stacking? because back in 1997 they had a game where teams would stack tubes onto a scoring device and then place them onto the top of a swiveling tower. The game was either won or lost in 30 seconds which was pretty cool.

I think he means more like 2003's bins or 2005's tetras, both of which were at some point stacked. 2003's stacks usually lasted all of 30 seconds before some robot knocked them down, hence the game name, Stack Attack. 2005's stacks grew ever higher throughout the match, as teams added more tetras of red and blue.

Yeah. With the current existence of "protected zones" Id love to see a re imagining of 2003 with safe zones to stack. Tetras would be cool too.

I think it would be really cool to see more changes that affect how the drivetrain works, for example, floor materials that are much more gripping or textured to give it more of an "off-road" style of play.
