Re: New info on 2016 Game

Honestly, I doubt it willl be water, ever year people say it will be a water game, even when the preview for the new George Lopez movie about the water game people thought it was water. If I had to guess, it will be something like a sport, maybe competitive lumber-jacking?

Re: New info on 2016 Game

Here's my take on the current situation.

What was one of the game pieces this year? Pool noodles.
What were they doing? Flying around the feild.
What is the primary material used to create the bumpers? Pool noodles...

So essentially this year, the robot bumpers were flying around the feild, and not being in the robot.

What does this mean?

To compensate for the flying bumpers in 2015, in 2016 there MUST be flying robots.

Re: New info on 2016 Game

Hey guys, I see a lot of people thinking a flying game would be cool. The thing is, college kids are already competing with flying robots and FIRST is debating annexing the program.

Re: New info on 2016 Game

2016 is the 100th running of the Indy 500. Maybe some sort of 3 on 3 race over obstacles and/or manipulating pieces. Time penalties for avoiding obstacles or missing pieces. All teams in alliance get same score like Recycle Rush. Maybe add a pit stop for the human player to change a battery or a wheel. End game is a series of donuts.

Sounds a lot like 2008 (Overdrive).
