The frisbee game has more merit than some of you recognize.

First of all it is easy enough for everyone to compete. Who can't push a frisbee into a scoring zone.

Second, it would take at two robots to block the scoring net/bin for the high pointage frisbees. There would be at least two container maybe three on a side, space far enough apart that I would love to see someone block it.

Third, It give the HPs a fun and meaningful task. Get one of your 4-5 frisbees in the goal and you double your score of frisbees in your zone, if they don't make the net they will count as regular frisbee in the scoring zone or the other team can pick them up and throw them in their net for a multiplier.

Fourth, the bins/net will be high enough that it will take a neat design to lift the frisbees and dump them in, say 7 feet high to accomodate the people with short roofs in there robot work space.

Fifth, The autonomous could be reduce to 20 seconds, but think how fun it could be. One stategy would be to collect all the frisbee that are in the area and when autonoumous mode hits be able to locate the target, net, and lauch a frenzy of frisbees at it in the last 20 second. Others could block, would have to extend to block, seven feet,, Some could sweep the area. Many strategies could be implemented.

Many of you may say this is too complex with autonomous but their are simple and hard task for scoring, whether that is making a frisbee in a goal for a 10 times amount the points of making it in the area. You would only need to make one for every ten frisbees in the other teams scoring area, A great advantage to a frisbee tosser. But the complexity of the problem makes the points worth it. And why not try, many frisbees that fail to make the goal would fall back into the scoring area.

These are just my thoughts. Enjoy. And Frisbee Frenzy in 2004.

BTW You can puchase frisbees and nets at your local wal-mart store.
