Cool future games

Well I've been meaning to start this post for a long time but I've been so caught up in some really cool projects that might change FIRST forever but that will be announced soon once i get everything okay'd.
So what would be some cool games for FRC. Me and my teammate thought in the near future they might do American Flag Football. Where we have to run across the field to score touchdowns for a certain amount of points or you can go for field goals. But on the robot itself will be flags and when you lose all your flags the FMS system or some other system shuts the robot down wirelessly. So this can be used a strategic move or something else. What do you guys think. Do you guys have any cool game ideas?

Re: Cool future games

While that does sound pretty neat, you would also have to take into consideration the higher risk of damage to the robots.

Re: Cool future games

I was thinking something along those lines, but the endgame would be how far up you could get on a goal post. The GDC will probably not do football, because everyone is expecting a football game next year. My idea is that we will play a version of hockey on simulated ice (their water game).

Talking Re: Cool future games

I know a future game that will be REALLY cool. Wait for it... Wait for it...




Water game. With ice(bergs) floating on the water. As well as robots. 6 CIMs on a marine screw ought to provide plenty of propulsion, don't you think?

I was thinking more of an 6paddlewheel, 4CIM tank drive with the middle 2 paddlewheels dropped 1/8th inch.
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.

Re: Cool future games

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.

Wait, I got it!
We'll get an old ceiling fan, put a cage and some mesh around it, put it on the back of the robot, drive it with 4cims, and have a rudder on the back of the cage controlled by a banebots 775 and a potentiometer.

Re: Cool future games

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

Re: Cool future games

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!

Re: Cool future games

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.

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.
