Would be nice to have a "just outside your frame perimeter" or manipulator game again after 2 straight ball games.

Re: 2014 Game

Looking back at the earliest games, in 1993 there were balls filled with water...

Maybe we are wrong. Maybe the watergame already happened.

Re: 2014 Game

One of our mentors and I postulated this as our theory for this year's game:

The field is split into two sides, red and blue as normal, with three zones. Strewn at some semblance to random are game pieces, probably balls about the size of a grapefruit.
Teams can accumulate pieces by taking them from the other team or shooting a piece into a target (reward of 2-5 pieces depending on preference).
The idea of the game is to keep as many game pieces in the active game zones as is possible.
In autonomous, the pieces rewarded for shooting are worth double. After the autonomous period and the first minute, a zone is declared inactive, and all of the pieces in that zone cannot legally be moved into active zones.
We figured on a hanging end game, so that would probably be different. Perhaps something like retrieving an item from the bottom of a kiddie pool would be cool.
Anyway, I thought it was worth posting here because it's a cool concept, and something like this would be an interesting game for next year.

I feel as though people would just take the Sparfox way out if it came to shooting footballs. Just slingshot it.

Would love an American football as a game piece. Preferably not as a shooting game, and not this year.

Re: 2014 Game

A game where robots interact with each other (balls being placed into trailers, hmm ^^) rather than the field itself would be a nice break.

Re: 2014 Game

I'd like to see a stacking game with multipliers that aren't incorporated into the actual game pieces being stacked, and I'd also like to see the same game have an endgame form in which teams must heavily interact with each other to accomplish the endgame. And to increase robot on robot interactions, it would be cool to have a coopertition component and having the rules allow heavier defense than in the past 2 years. And preferably no safe zones.

I would like it if the robots could actually expand next year instead of just being limited to a 54" cylinder (or similar)

Re: 2014 Game

It'd be nice to see some variations from the 27'x54' rectangle. Even though I know it won't happen, I'm still crossing my fingers to hear the words "This year's game will be played on a circular field with a radius of 27sqrt(2/π) feet..." at kickoff.
