Re: A 2007 challenge?

It looks like it might have something to do with the "death ray" they built in Mythbusters. Once you have high-speed projectiles in a FIRST competition, anything is possible.

Re: A 2007 challenge?

My sons and I were watching "Mythbusters" last night and saw Woodie aiming mirrors. Sadly, only two of us yelled "that's Woodie!" out loud. I think David was playing Tetris. (All of us had notebook computers open at the time. It was a big night at the Tyler house after coming home from robot building.)

Re: A 2007 challenge?

Lol I cant believe how some people are thinking of games that are going to come after this, when we haven't even started a regional lol. I'm still freaking out about 2006 game and building the robot and stuff..I have this freaky feeling that something is going to go wrong with our robot >.<

Re: A 2007 challenge?

melting things? that doesn't sound like "gracious professionalism" to me...

edit: check out solar death ray (the website) to see a "death ray" that someone actually made at home, and burns things with. VERY cool.

For some reason I get this nagging thought that we will have to follow some moving target type of thing

Wow mate. That is awesome. I just checked out the site. I think a solar death ray would be a cool thing to do but as for what FIRST stands for I can truthfully say there is no way that it is possible.

As fot the field that would be an interesting challenge. What would we do?

Re: A 2007 challenge?



I think next years game is obvious:

1. Auton mode: robots will deploy across the field, find a panel, and analise the color of the paint

2. robot will mix the right color pigments into a gallon of paint that has been retrieved from a raised center platform.

3. Driver mode: the robot must thoroughly mix the gallon of paint and
4. Under driver control you must paint one or more of the other alliances robots.

points awarded for most percentage of coverage on opponents robots. Multiplier for best color match.
