I'll get on board with that. I'm tired of shooting games (never seen one that isn't).

[K-Dawg157]

If we're doing for bragging rights... I think multiple *different* game pieces being manipulated. (Hopefully not Shooting... This is my last year, I'm done with shooting! Haha)

Happy Build Season!

[Whippet]

Grab and dump game. Just for the bragging rights.

[Jaywalker1711]

For bragging rights:
Relay game (with a pole)
No game pieces, less robot contact rules
Shorter or divided matches

And what I really think wil happen due to the hint: a change in the alliance system

Good luck out there tomorrow. Can't wait to see what the "almost nothing" that we have to worry about is

[indubitably]

For bragging rights, my guess about the coming "change" would be that the game would be played differently for quals and elims. Perhaps a 6v0 for the quals and 3v3 for the elims with roughly the same objective.

I'm thinking the recycling bin has something to do with it all...bringing boxes/bins back... Being green/eco-friendly! Maybe catagorizing goals to dispense balls or some other field element into "recycle," "compost," "trash," etc. goals, and have to move em around or into zones. Now that there could be an educational point to it as well.

[Bryce Paputa]

Pick and place or stacking. Probably a modified clone of a past game.

Jut for bragging rights

Mystery 3x3x60 box is a pool noodle.
Get your bumpers ready for competition correctly.

A x<60" robot perimeter? Looks like the change already came.

I really have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'll throw this just just like this (for bragging rights hopefully!) : the game pieces will be boxes/crates.

[Harman341]

I say a stacking game, been ages since we had one.
Interesting note, 2003 was a placing game so was 2007, 2011 so why not 2015

That is simply the length of the pool noodle. A joke from FIRST on the quality of bumpers. But still that's just a theory made for the rare chance it happens.

[ArthurA]

For bragging rights:
Hockey (with a slick surface) or golf (with fake grass) as a hockey puck or golf club could be the sixty inch package in the kit of parts...

= a game where we will have to stack boxes ...

I know it sounds a bit simplistic for the moment, but this is just the main idea of the game, and other more complex details and game objectives will be added onto this idea. All will be revealed in a bit more than 2 hours!

Capital letters of specified changes spell out ICRRRRAMPF. Remove the repeat letters so that all letters are new, or changed. You get ICRAMPF. The only apparent word in this is RAMP, but if you remove that you get ICF, or International Canoe Federation. We are going to be canoeing up ramps. You heard it here first.
