Both sci-fi references are classic media from the 60's, a decade that also featured Project Gemini, a program that launched 2 astronauts into LEO.

On the weight of the available evidence: how about a return of 2v2v2?

I really want something to shoot again. I've driven 2 years so far, and let me tell you. Stacking totes is not as fun as shooting balls

Having been human player during RR, I can say that was a fun game for human players. A good mix of fun for human players and the drivers would be nice. It seemed that this year was not the most fun for HPs.

Except for the ones that spent like 100 hours practicing their curve ball to get it into the opponent's courtyard .

Floppy disks were designed in the '60s, but not released until 1971. Data storage game?

Worse. Far worse.

1999 is about to get a reboot. The game piece that year: Floppies.

(OK, so that was actually kind of a fun-ish game, and the "floppies" were essentially toroidal beanbags full of foam peanuts, but still...)

Nope, confirming that once again, there will be 2 alliances on the field.

I am predicting that the only way to load robot code will be using a USB floppy disk drive.

One of our mentors theorized that the "pizza and wings" sign off was hinting at a football game.

Or using the MXP as a floppy drive port. (you have to cut off one of the pins so the filled hole lines up)

The real game is which will load faster... USB floppy drive or Labview.

Heard Disney Imagineering is helping out with the game design this year. Coincidence it also so happens that Disney is also in the process of building a Star War themed section in Disneyland. Star Wars is considered Sci-Fi. Star Wars game?

I would honestly love it, but that would make legal a nightmare if you wanted to buy a lightsaber(tm or something) game piece for practice

Though I must add that Disney Imagineering is good at what they do (game animation AFAIK from 2016), so their content will be of stupidly high quality. I eagerly await their work, even if not for the game animation...

Actually that would be quite interesting.
Also presumably quite unsafe

Yes please. Automated shooting was one of the most interesting projects I've ever worked on
