Re: 2007 game field...

My only question to Ogre and Lil' Lavery, is how do you have even uneven alliances, as well as circular square fields? And don't spark's usually go out in water?

A mixture of terrain, including water traps. It will be the year when everyone will utilize the hovercraft (I wanted to use a hovercraft hybrid this year, but my team decided to go with wheels for the traction )

Well yea, but of course if they make a game with water I'm pretty sure they will be alot more serious when the jeduges look at the robots and evaluate them making sure they are completely safe. There should be not a single chance of error with a game with water

Re: 2007 game field...

We should have mailboxes so that the challenge could be to make the robots get the mail and bring it to the 'house'. Then after that the most successful robots can be patented, sold, and make loads of money for the builders!!!

I bet that would really bring the heat in competition and make very interesting!

I think a security robot would be cool to develop. At Motorola we need escorts to and from the playing field. A security robot as an escort would make things loads more efficient.

Re: 2007 game field...

I have something not listed in the poll: EM or audio spectrum based objectives. Like laser tag with robots! Imagine the savings with something like that. Instead of spending money on pieces like balls and tetras, you could build emitters and sensors. Though the items would cost more, you wouldn't need as many.

Re: 2007 game field...

I think it would be cool to have marbles as game pieces. It would be unique because you'd pretty much have to treat it as a fluid and it would lead to some interesting concepts. Think about instead of scoring a large game piece, filling up an object with marbles and depending on how full it is that's what you are scored on? How would you collect something less than an inch off the ground?


Everything abot this idea is pretty cool but there's one reason why I can thing it won't happen... marbles are slippery... and they get everywhere... Imagine these little things getting all over the pits, and then at random you see people go airborne, carrying things... Yeah...

It would still be pretty cool though.

Re: 2007 game field...

Instead of the carpet, have the playing field sand.

Would make for some interesting pushing matches
