And of course it would have to be performed to all the worst pop music soundtracks we have all heard at each and every competition! aka - Britney Spears, Nelly... and just about every track on every NOW cd ever!

Talking Re: Most Outragous Forecasts For This Years Game...

How bout this:
What if the robots engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the human players. Sort of a "BattleBots" meets "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Points are doubled if you get blood splatters into the third row of the audience. However, there is a catch: the whole thing has to be autonomous (headache for me, the 408 head computer nerd...pixie pride!!!).

Re: Most Outragous Forecasts For This Years Game...

Right, so imagine this: instead of only four robots on the field at a time, we make it sixteen. The field is only two times as large as it was last year, however, leading to an astonishing rate of robot traffic jams going through the bottleneck in the middle of the playing field. Suspended thirteen feet, 7.259 inches above the playing field is the Mega-Multipliyer. If at the end of autonomous mode 3 or more robots are touching the mega-multipliyer, all teams scores are multiplied by the number of robots touching the multiplyer minus one. Scoring is accomplished by moving "Furbies(tm)" to either of two incinerators located at each end of the field. The sixteen robots must work together, but each must work towards the individual robot goals that only one robot can accomplish in each round:
1) Demolish the most "Furbies(tm)" - 30 individual points
2) Control the Base (green carpet patch) - 10 points
3) Travel the furthest distance (Robot Odometers!) - 20 points
4) Consume the most souls - 666 points. (Judging on this is expected to be controversial as the major philosophical groups and religions grapple over a final definition of "soul", how possession of a "soul" can be taken, how possession of a "soul" effects the owner, whether or not we actually have "souls" in the first place, and if a "soul" is good as a lunch.)

A teams score is therefor calculated as
(robots touching Mega-Multiplyer at end of minute 1) * (Number of "Furbies(tm)" obliterated) / 3.141592 + Individual robot points.

Re: Most Outragous Forecasts For This Years Game...

you've got it all wrong, this year's competition will be using humans as the object, where the object of the game is to seek out the other team's humans and feed them into some type of human-furnace which fuels your robot. the scoring will equal ((number of humans eaten/wieght of robot)+number of satanic sacrifice)*cases of mountain dew consumed by team.

then the tiebreaker will be a battle between the human players on each team on segways with jousting javalins, last team standing wins.

Forget FIRST, I'll just start a segway jousting team at Venice High! How much fun would that be? I'll get the woodshop people working on making me a few lances as soon as we're back in session!
