Re: New info on 2016 Game

The 2016 game will be synchronized dancing robots:

http://mashable.com/2015/01/20/human...s-dance-tokyo/

A future water version, synchronized swimming robots, is anticipated shortly therafter.

Yet to be determined is whether there will be a 3 judge panel, similar to Dancing With the Stars, or an 11 judge panel, similar to Olympic scoring.

Or when they tried to build a hovercraft. Or converted their motorcycles into boats.

My prediction for this year's challenge was that it was going to be a watergame. I was hoping we would get to build a submarine. I (Head of Fabrication) was talking to our lead programmer about having a water challenge, and, well, he didnt like that Idea. But Imagine all of the robots that would leak and be absolutely destroyed XD. Its a horrible thought but would be fun to watch. Our robotics room shall be torn apart tomorrow to find that sticker. #Watergame2016

The pneumatics would be used as a pressure equalization system.

Re: New info on 2016 Game

It is a forgotten fact that a water game was actually played by accident in the Summer of 2000(?) at JPL. An outdoor scrimmage was held. Though it hadn't rained on that date in Pasadena in 120 years of recorded history, the sky opened up and soaked the carpet. There actually were puddles. The robots were spraying rooster tails that went up at least 10 feet. A couple shorted out. Don't remember who was there, but I'm pretty sure the Beach Bots were the hosts.

It was spectacular.

In 2001 or 2002 Nats at Epcot a thunderstorm flooded some of the tents where the pits were, causing a bit of a problem as the AC power was under water for a while. The FOPs stayed dry though.

Sorry for these reminiscences - but it is throwback Thursday!

Re: New info on 2016 Game

At the new Woodhaven District Event, in order to get your robot between the pits and the field, you have to walk next to the school's pool (in the same room as the pool).

Water game confirmed???

Re: New info on 2016 Game

As far as I know, regional are held at colleges and other venues where pools are either present, or the venue is large enough to set one up. Not to mention that First built a new field in St. Louis this year...

Perhaps with aquatic capabilities?

Re: New info on 2016 Game

Has anyone considered that we might be in an Ender's Game scenario?

Considering we found a salty ocean on Ganymede, I expect us to go to war with it's inhabitants soon.

Re: New info on 2016 Game

New in 2016:
Teams will build robots controlled by regional's volunteers, each team submits a commander (like ender) to wage all out warfare on a game surface similar to lunacy...
but with icy water like ganymede!
