Possibility for 2016 Game

[runneals]

I think it would be cool to do like what FTC did this year recycling the past 2 game pieces into a whole new game... What could you do with frisbees and yoga balls?

Raise the Bar: Because it isn't high enough already!


I'd come up with some way to recycle the 2004 game, using frisbees and large balls. Don't ask me what yet, but given time I'm sure I could come up with something.

To any GDC members reading this: Please forget you ever saw this post.

The mass imbalance is greater than between pool noodles and RCs/totes. Yoga balls could deflect frisbees, but frisbees would be ineffective against yoga balls. Perhaps there's a balanced game somewhere in which the yoga balls are used for defense most of the game, but scored somewhere else for an endgame bonus that doesn't occur to me right now.

How about we do 3 games? Shoot basketballs into the top of pyramids, then for the endgame you can climb the pyramid and place a yoga-ball on top.

My initial thought was "no, we just had one with Lunacy." Now I feel old.

Heh. It only took them 5 years between mobile goal games last time.

Now I feel really old...

I've put the time to good use: Finished a Bachelor's (MSOE, Software Engineering, class of '14), got a decent job after graduation, and all the while volunteered at my local competition!
