Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

FIRST Frenzy : Doughnut Domination?

Robots must collect the most dougnuts that drop from a Conveyor Belt from above the player stations and place them in Krispy Kreme Boxes. Robots receive extra points for closing the box and delivering it to Dave.

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

I wouldn't be surprised that they have already designed the 2005 game. Remember that during kickoff, Dave said something along the lines of "get used to IR sensors, they wont be going away". Sounded like he already knew part of next years game at this years kickoff.

darn, I was hoping there'd be some game design contest like last year.

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

Hmmm... the doughnut game would be fun, but what would the human player do? Would they eat the doughnuts?? The more you eat the more points you get! yummmm... I'd like to be human player But ehh, why worry about next years game now, I'll worry about it next year, until then it's time to focus on this years game

I heard from a VERY good source that beanbags will be in use in next year's game.

We would have to hear whom the source is to trust this leak.

Anyways I would rather not know. Especially right now. They would just change the game if it got out. Oh..wouldn't that be horrible. They have a so called reliable "source" leak the game and then change it completely for kickoff. That would be great. Especially if the new game involved water and clowns.

It really doesn't matter to me, as I will be in college next year and not on a FIRST Robotics Team, well at least not building on one. Also, I won't reveal the source, maybe so FIRST won't 'magically' change the game.

beanbag chairs would be cool.....what do we have robots drinking sodas and watching TV in bean bag chairs or something...or maybe the players could do that...robot must be a waiter....gets bean bag chair and sets up stand for human ability to watch TV...sounds like lotsa fun

if it does involve bean bags the small ones...are we like designing a crowd control device of sorts...you know the po po's use those little bean bags guns to keep people under control...this is the future of FIRST...law enforcement

Re: Dave Lavery VCU Hint!

Hey guys, for all we know the game will be a bunch of robots playing Red Rover... How would the human player act in that regard? Autonomous would be infinitely more difficult to work out, of course, since you would have to synchronize with your alliance partenr... That would be a pain inthe seeding matches, having to switch every time. I'm personally leaning toward the pendulum theory myself.

I remember that! And the crazy kid that was trying to get on top of the Earth. Man, what memories.

Personally, I think it will have something to do with a platform a couple of feet up and you have to get up, the only way up is marked by an ir beacon, and the way up is blocked after the auton ends. *shrugs*
Who knows?
