Same here!

I know! Lets play aerial assist again, but with frisbees! ... or totes!

We get to fling the totes across the field, just like everyone wanted to this year! Or we get to try to catch frisbees, which would mean no driving for half the match chasing it, as it would sit still on the ground!


EDIT: Going through old threads someone pointed something out. This year we will have to lift robots as 2007, 2010, and 2013 involved lifting robots as an endgame, so 2016 could continue this pattern.

That's cool, I hope it's true

The pattern appears to go back farther. 2004 (FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar) also included robots hanging from a bar. If they do this, it will be the first end game since 2013.

On another note, it appears that the Average Joes (3620) are thinking the next game might be called Laundry Launch.

So I am thinking for the 2016 game he may try and reuse the pool noodles and make the game more focused on them. Thoughts?

They had already planned the 2016 game before 2015 was released, they're always planning for 2 years ahead. So maybe for 2017, but the 2016 game was already decided, so no.

So we might get another year without any offensive contact?

It all depends. Maybe, maybe not. The 2016 was not finalized during the 2015 season so they may change aspects of the game, but the general ideas and objectives of the game were already planned out well in advance.

But I want offensive contacts! I felt this year was like FLL... Doing the same task again and again... The other years you could at least have fun bumping the other robots

I have a feeling that if we do have a climbing/lifting end game next year we may see a lot more PTOs.
Then again I am no Car Nack.

Two words: Tethered drones. Could have used them in Recycle Rush to place litter in the containers. Don't be surprised if the 2016 game contains more vertical elements in the game with, potentially, the opportunity for the drive team to use their skills flying drones.

Those cost a lot and break pretty easily... You sure it could happen?

2826 tried something like this in their pre champs release video.
