Design a Game for FIRST!!!!

[Jay5780]

Finally!

For all of us who ever wanted to design a FIRST game can do it.

On 2/21/03 FIRST created the Game Design Challenge where anyone can create a game scenerio for FIRST.

Maybe now we will get those footballs!!!

So I guess no one cares?

How about this...

Many people complain when the rumors aren't true about what the game will be every single year. So what would you like to see FIRST do?

[Adam Y.]

I care but I just decided not to reply. It is a pretty cool idea though.

I just noticed the thread..Hmm...I now have somethign to do in class...and i thought now that animation's done and bot's shipped we were done...ha!

[Jeff Waegelin]

So, now there's an official contest, not just a thread here, huh? Well, I suppose I'll submit an idea of some sort. I liked the last design competition that Dave Lavery held here.

My thoughts exactly! Wonder what my history teacher will say when she comes back from maternity leave and finds my desk covered in sharpie drawings of robots and fields...

[Pin Man]

I could make a nice game... It would be awesome... I'll work on one...

Remember, it's 1 PER TEAM, so I highly suggest you consult your teams before sending ideas in, before another person on your team does the same thing and they just throw them all out and your team is SOL.

One word: Meatballs. Think of the possibilities!

You forgot the monkeys and the bottomless pit!

Three things:

-Chocolate Syrup
-Down Pillows
-Cattle Feces

What fun!

I'm glad you guys are putting a lot of thought into this one.

[Nick Seidl]

Possible ideas:
-->Marine battle or even better, sub-marine battle (or maybe not)
-->aerial battle (robot + bungee cord = ?)
-->legalized/mandatory projectiles (needs contained play field)
-->unstable play field (make the whole field one big see-saw)
-->keep the human players on field (with zone restrictions)

other notes:
>bins are better than balls
>bring back the movable goals
>bring back the chin-up bar (ca. 2000)
>keep the 2v2 format (no 4v0, ca. 2001)
>give up on the reflective tape, it will never catch on

anyone think FIRST will take to fish tanks and make it an underwater or at least floating match..... well, maybe if that's the idea that wins.

[Mike Schroeder]

haha water competitions. I see them in the future not the near future, they only way you will see them, is if pigs fly, (with out the aid of a catupalt or any other device to propell it
