I believe that this might be what he saw...but has he finally designed a game involving donuts?

Do you really already know? You might get some really good pictures or ideas before next years competition. Maybe even one based on the game.

Leave it to dave to design a robot contest with donuts in it..

Two sets of "donuts." You have to sort them into two two tubs on each side. The "donuts" with the IR beacons in them are label "Krispy Kremes" while the ones without IR beacon are "Any Other". They all look the same from the outside but it is what is inside that makes all the difference. Putting the wrong "donut" in the wrong tub will result in negative points while you will be given positive points for correct tub. In the middle there will be a giant donut ten feet in the air. You can choose to hang from it for 25 points. Also, you can instead choose to be the "donut hole" by sitting in the middle of the 10 ft high donut. The "donut hole" will gain an additional 50 pts.

The scoring will go as following:

Each team will be given a "free dozen Krispy Kreme certificate" for each baker dozen pts they score. The winning will gain an additional "certificates" for each half dozen "donuts" their opponent correctly label.

Seeding will go as following:

The team that presents the most certificate at the end of qualifying will be sent home. Turn down free Krispy Kremes, no way. The team with the greatest difference of "certificates" won minus "certificates" presented will be #1 seed and seeding will follow in this order.

Extend the autonomous period from 15 seconds to a minute and wear your hair nets.

I present this as my official 2005 game. It will be called FIRST Frenzy: Kreme of the Krop.

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

That is a worthy game idea. But if it is donuts, I bet it will involve boxing them...and lots of bonus points for delivering them to him with even more bonus points if they can deliver more than he can eat.

Yeah..agreed. You could have a stack of premade folded boxes and the unfolded box. More point to fold the box, fill it, and deliver.

But how would they stop Dave from eating all of the game pieces? Surely those IR beacons wouldn't be good for him...

Yeah, can you imagine all of those Krispy Kreme obsessed robots chasing him down. (IR beacons).....That must be the "Frenzy" part of it.

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

Hmm.... I personally think next years game will involve a pendulum. That would be quite interesting indeed.

On a side note, did anyone run into 1418's elevator party at the science museum?

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

This is kind of a 6 degrees of seperation thing. I have lived in Richmond for all but like 3 months of my life, so I know a little history and such of the place, not as much as some, but still enough. If you looked around behind the Seigle Center there were some train tracks that would dead end into buildings and such, and if you just look around Richmond, you see much of these strange things. Back like 6 or 7 years ago, the Science Museum of Virginia did some remodeling in the back of it. There were these old train tracks. Now for those that don't know SMVA was once one of the biggest train stations in the South, and probably the biggest hub for transportation from the South to the North and Washington DC. But in the remodeling, those bueatiful tracks were removed, but the loading platforms and shelters over them remain. My new theory, after seeing a picture of me sitting in the lap of my grandfather, while "operating" a front end loader that was pulling out some of the tracks, is that next years game might have something to do with tracks, a platform, a two fold task: getting up onto a 10 foot high something and then doing a task on it (from the shelters, don't ask), and still the pendulum. This clue might have more to do with the Museum's intresting past, and not just it's exhibits. I know there aren't many signs left of it's past around there, but if you look in certain areas, you will see them. Cool note, my grandfather's paving/construction company was contracted out to remove the old train tracks when I was little, that's why I have that picture, and if it hasn't been covered up my initals "MAI" are there in the back somewhere.

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

Thats very interesting. From what little I'v heard about dave it seems consistent with his personality to give this kind of obscure hint. It will be extremely fun to look back on this thread when the game is announced, and see who was right

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

Maybe one robot has to package the donuts and place them on a conveyor belt (the track) and the other robot is at the other end and had to take them off and deliver them to the judges. Bonus points if they are still warm.
