Next Year's game idea....

[MikeDubreuil]

For instance, this year there were two types of objects to pick up: small balls, and large balls. What if you had to manipulate 2 completely different kids of objects? Like bowling pins and frisbies.

It would be cool if during autonomous you could either:
1. trigger the release of fribees on the playing field.
2. Use your IR sensor to find a "mobile bowling pin stash" and attempt to collect the pins. The stash has been randomly placed on the field at the begining of a match. The mobile stash is very similar to the puck in the Floppie year.

The object of the game is to collect the most bowling pins and raise them 8 ft in the air. Robots may also collect friesbees and bring them to the human player. From there the human player would throw them at a 3 foot diamteter hole-goal on the opposite side of the field, located inbetween the 2 allliances.

If you're on the puck at the end of the game, you also receive some type of bonus. Any frisbees in your goal also receives points, Bowling pins in the air at the end of the match also receive points.

EDIT: To mix things up.... if a human player scores a frisbee, a random robot of the opposing alliance is disabled for 10 seconds. Frisbees are no longer used as points.
