That's interesting. I hadn't heard of that; where did you see it?

It was in one of the 2012 FRC Live Rebound Rumble videos. I can't remember which one...

Found It! 6:00 in. Beware of the buzzing noise.

My guess is Football.

I'm guessing that next year's game will be a hockey game. I've heard a lot of speculation on this and I think that it could be a viable option for FIRST. They could go back to using the regolith material too. Also, they could use this as teasing us with a water game because hockey is on frozen water. It's sort of close but not quite.

The only sports FIRST hasn't really done is some fashion is football and hockey. But hockey would probably require that they bring back the floor from Lunacy. Unless they want to get into badminton, I feel like it'll be one of those. However, there is the chance they bring in a racing element like in 2008. But we all know how annoying that was to watch.

They've done baseball?

Triple Play. Or didn't you realize that?

Just kidding. Triple Play was based on tic-tac-toe, though the clues pointed to triple plays and 3 and all that.

I would consider baseball to be a very dangerous game for spectators, drivers, and robots alike; if implemented at all there would be almost assuredly be some very strict controls on exit velocities and the like. And there would definitely be some changes to the game.


Oh, and when you say that the only sports FIRST hasn't done in some fashion are football and hockey, you KNOW someone's going to come out of the woodwork with:
--Curling
--Golf
--Rugby
--Lacrosse
--Polo
--Track and Field (particularly the Field part--Overdrive covered most of the racing sports)
--Volleyball
--Badminton
--Racquetball and Squash
--Broomball
--Swimming (had to say this one, because of the oldest joke in FRC)
--Biathalon (and other shooting sports)
--Cricket
--AMERICAN football (football was already done in 2010 )
--I'm sure someone can name a few more here...

I can see a water game coming soon especially with new electronics not able to be damaged by water as easily like the talons, but I don't see it being 2014. I'm guessing soccer again or some sort of stacking game.

I can also see there being a fourth alliance member very soon in the near future as more and more teams appear in the FIRST community.

That sounds too easy. That could possibly be the easiest FRC game ever pondered.

I can't imagine 3 shooting games in a row, but they are the most entertaining to spectators. I think a stacking game is very probable.

If not hockey, i think something with stacking.

I think something to think isn't three shooting games in a row. Think about this: in the last 6 years, 5 of the games have involved shooting (08, 09, 10, 12, 13). Shooting in slightly different ways, and you could make the case that 2008 wasn't really shooting, but still...

While talking to Frank (FRC Director) at MAR champs, I felt it would be almost a sin not to mention a water game.

When asked about there being a water game in 2014, he said "I would make no assumptions"

Thats as good as a yes to me! WOOOOO

[Johnnybukkel]

It's simple math, (Current year)+1=Water Game
