A hockey theme would be great. But full out hockey with a tiny (if not one) amount of pucks would be unbearable. You would be completely dependent on your alliance. I really would not like my entire chance at winning to be based on a random number generator

I just have fun trying to imagine these.
Moving gaming peices like giant balls or moveable turntables in the center with game pieces that a random judge can control.
just some crazy ideas

Here's a (horrible) idea for a mix.
Take the stacking/knocking down opponents stacks/figuring out what to do with a bin on its side from 03 and add the regolith from 09. Then, for the end game add the goals from 2001, but instead of balancing them on a bridge, pull up the robot+goals on a chin up bar, like from 04. You can either stack the boxes on the ground, or get 5x as many points by stacking in the goals. Oh, and don't forget to bring back tetras, trackballs, and trailers!

Re: 2014 Game

Quick question, did anyone predict the game for this year (2013) to any measurable amount of accuracy?

Re: 2014 Game

This years senior class has seen Ultimate Ascent, Rebound Rumble and Logomotion, they have never played a game that had had a robot managing more than four game objects at once. Maybe they will get to see a "large" capacity game after all.

The closest I remember off-hand was someone who said, as they were en route to kickoff, that this year's game piece (and I paraphrase) "would probably be something annoying like frisbees". However, I don't remember any outright correct guesses like some past seasons (2011: someone actually wrote logomotion in a post as an accidental typo of locomotion; 2009: theories about lunar simulation came about with the luna fish hint; 2008: one of the hints showed a roof of a building that looked like a race track)

<offtopic-glance-at-old-threads>
From approximately April 2012 we need to Hang. (linked from http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=106055&page=2). Same link, tetras were mentioned, which is reminiscent of the pyramids.

Most of our team plays Ultimate, so while we were playing over the summer, we decided that if the game were to involve frisbees, we would go to Einstein. I then declared loudly that it would be a game with frisbees, and I bet someone 5 bucks on it.
Well, we didn't go to Einstein, buuuuuut....

I think that this years game will be more like a game with climbing evolve. Like last year.

Re: 2014 Game

This doesn't have to do with FRC, but rather FTC; I started this thread about "FTC Block Party!" if anyone wishes to debate about/analyze that game. I think it's cool, and will be exciting to watch!

I always vote for more complex autonomy. Maybe having to make the robots navigate through a tunnel were the operator can't see the robot. Oh I am so evil.

Re: 2014 Game

Water game idea; Baseballs are game pieces. Human players sit in dunk tanks. You get points based on how many times you dunk the other alliance's human players!

Re: 2014 Game

It is a little known fact that a water game was actually played unintentionally back in 2001. This was an outdoor scrimmage played at JPL in the Summer. Although it had not rained in Pasadena on that date for over 120 years, the heavens opened up and dumped about 1 inch of rain on the open air arena prior to the game start, saturating the carpet. I believe there was some standing water and puddles on the FOP.

The robots while moving fast threw up wonderful water rooster tails. While adding to the crowd appeal, the circuitry of most robots did not survive.
At least once during the finals at Epcot, a thunderstorm flooded the pits and all plug in electricity needed to be shut off to avoid electrocuting the teams.

So while interesting to speculate, logistics, prior experience and legal costs resulting from water damage to venues preclude the development of a 'water game.'
