Being Proactive About Paper Airplanes on Einstein

[pilleya]

I think the main issue here, is that there is a lot of waiting around. It is probably too late to organise something like this, but why not give the option to a few teams who didn’t make it to Einstein, but were in the Eliminations to volunteer their robots for some separate competitions before Einstein Occurs, or during long breaks.

Here are some examples of things that happened at events in previous years:

There are a lot of robots with treads and hi-traction pneumatic wheels this year. I think a 3 vs 3 tug of war; with 3 tracked robots vs 3 wheeled robots would be awesome.

Could these be conducted on the concrete arena floor or on carpet, near the Mass and Energy fields?
