Yes I'm sure we do ,but its always cool to think what will happen next.

All of those things! duh!

[Jeff Rodriguez]

Where's the 'select all' option?

[Jon K.]

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?

[Nica F.]

i think we should at least finish 2006's build season before we get into this subject. =]

[Joe O]

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 )

[Trousers]

Robot Cat duh!


other than that mail-boxes possibly JELLO

water game would be saweeet. but very dangerous i would guess

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

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.

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.

i think that maybe they will have 2 playing fields of different shape to make teams have to make their autonomous modes adaptive to the field.

also having a field other than carpet would be interesting. perhaps cceramic tile slicked with oil? how about ice?

also working with bizarre materials like dry ice might be interesting

not jello but maybe pudding or pie filling

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.

Instead of the carpet, have the playing field sand.

Would make for some interesting pushing matches
