Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
that makes a lot of sense...i'm assuming that it wouldn't be mobile, b/c that'd be REALLY hard to climb on if it was... and dangerous too.

Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
[I only had time to read about half of the thread... so don't kill me if I'm repeating here...]
A few things discovered in 15 minutes worth of research, none of which I've seen here yet: 1) Couldn't help but Google the exact phrase "five 'bots"... and lookey here what it discovered: http://www.fileaholic.com/idgames/pa...d/coderd12.txt Knowing the geekiness of the GDC (thats "geek" in the good sense)... I'm guessing there might have been a Quake player or two out there... Notice that "You begin in a level with entrances to three(for now) arenas". *3* !!! 2) Now to dictionary.com... "Tangle: To catch and hold in or as if in a net; entrap".... speaks for itself. 3) PASTA is an acronym in queuing theory; it stands for "Poisson Arrivals See Time Averages". A wildshot... but then again, could have something to do with the scoring system. 4) There is a meaning of "show" that I haven't seen mentioned... again thanks to dictionary.com... "Show: Third place at the finish, as in a horserace." I dunno.... there's that "3" again. Also, "obsessed" can mean "influenced or controlled" SO: Translate: "A game piece influenced or controlled with a shovel's third place finish." Yike's -- the value of a gamepiece might be different for the third place finisher? I won't touch Montana's green heights for now. Happy New Year! Aidan |

Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
I just thought of this, instead of having the ramps/platform in the middle, they may be at the ends of the field like a end zone in football. This just came to me when I was reading about Montana's heights/Joe Montana. I think it would be cool if they placed the ramps and goals at the ends like end zones, and have the robots start in the middle... Just a crazy idea.

Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
the field will be cheap.. prob as cheap as last year..and as easy to create.. so I wouldn't count on a 10ft hill
also if it's 5 bots... it won't be 2v3 -- that would take way TOO much planning and could be a catastrophe 5v0 is very possible -- alliances could have the opportunity to end a match early again - and if the avg time of a match is 1:40 or so.. it would make up for not having a 6th team on the field Last edited by Collmandoman : 31-12-2005 at 15:20. |

Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
What if it was a standard ramp like in 2003 with rope netting instead of wire grate? and then the top of the ramp could only hold five? remember how the ramp only fit so many in '03? its a little flooky, but maybe...

Ramps will have to be scaled by robots during the end of the match--which will be autonomous--for extra points...and they must have started *off* the ramp before autonomous began. --Petey |

Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion
i don't know about an autonomous task at the end of the match, it would make the ref's job hard to make sure the task was not completed (or started) during operator controlled mode
though, it would be an interesting twist |

This would tick people off more than anything FIRST has ever done in the past. Unless it just sits there, or drives around with flashing lights all over it, far away from the action, there's no way to keep the robot from adversely or positively effecting the rest of the teams. Everyone would complain that xx alliance got more help from the house bot than yy alliance, and zz alliance got completely screwed, etc. Plus, how on earth are teams supposed to build their own robot, PLUS a second robot, just to have a working field? This isn't battlebots, where the entire goal is to destroy everything else on the field. There's no way there's a house bot. |
