Re: 2014 Game
I could only wish trains were the theme this year, a steampunk first robotics competition. Pleas eoh pleas elet trains be the theme this year,. Trains helped develop the time zones. Which has helped civilization with alot of things. Also today in history is the day that trains made the time zones (glad I found this thread TODAY)
I mean look at this Big Boy Steam train(located below inthe attachments. It would really make some good looking robots. Plus trains are one of the best inventions ever. They transport 40%of America's freight. Also they are way more fuel efficient than a airplane. Also it would make a great theme. Train Conductors- Referees Also trains created this modern world. And I bet you the parts on our robots somehow and in some way were transported by a train. Just saying FIRST should really honor trains this year or at least by the year 2016 (my last year as a student ) Anyways anybody agree with me and magnets? |

Posted some train pic for you guys to start getting ideas about the how to design your robot after a train. Also one of the trains is the big boy train the other 2 are pictures of some of the last steam engines located in China. |

Re: 2014 Game
I attended a workshop on drivetrains a few weeks ago but I didn't learn anything about driving trains

Re: 2014 Game
Is "driving" the correct term for operating trains?

I don't know, but I'm sure the job takes a lot of training.

Re: 2014 Game
While I love most (if not all) the ideas stated above, I know what the game will be: CTF! The field will be of similar shape and size to those from Rebound Rumble and Ultimate Ascent, with two team stations on either side. The floor will be some texturally interesting material, or possible combination of materials. There will be an assortment of weights in the middle of the field, with varying weights. The goal will be to, with some automatous mode, get the most weights on your side of the field. The interesting part is, "Do we push it in front of us, hoping another team doesn't take it, or do we pick it up, and carry it?" A balancing end-game finishes the round. What do you guys thin?

I'm pretty sure FIRST slipped up and didn't make 2011 a train game

Re: 2014 Game
An intiresting thought, Connerd. I doubt we would see a balancing endgame so soon after Rebound Rumble, but I do think a Capture The Flag style game would be intiresting.
