I'd be hesitant to do this, because it favors some teams over other, and there are teams who don't necessarily win technical awards year after year, but still have very VERY good robots, ala 254* (The only technical award they've won at SVR since 2002 is Motorola Quality in 2005, yet they consistently win it every year with a spectaculary efficient robot)

I like the idea of using regionals as properties, and having the bigger (not necessarily "better") regionals be the higher priced ones.

*254 was used as an example because I'm very familliar with their team and robots over the past number of years.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

Like i said above I can help with programming and some of the art. I think this should be easy to do in VB.net or C#, and both of these are free from microsoft here . I am leaveing for a vacation this weekend, but when get back I'll get started on this.

I'm in favor of using the regionals as properties too. There were 33 regionals this year plust the championship event, and only 22 spaces on the board, so about 12 regionals wont be used.

From this year, the largest regionals were:
NASA/VCU - 64 teams
Chesapeake - 64 teams
NJ - 63 teams
GLR - 63 teams

Of course, each year more teams are formed and attend these regionals, and these regionals only have a 1 team difference. Also more regionals are added each year, so you'd have to figure out a way to decide which property/regional goes on which position on the board, and which ones would be used.

...Or you can scrap the idea of using regionals as properties and do something different.

I agree. Some teams might be offended if they do not make it onto the board. But perhaps the Hall of Fame teams could be on there. That way, it's a set group of teams, not just the ones that, in your/anyone else helping with the project's eyes is better.

It sounds like a really cool idea, and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Chance cards could be like "Robot Controller Malfunction, pay $50 to replace"
Or "Airport delays cause you to miss a connection flight, pay $100 to rebook".

and of course, Airport delay causes them to kick you off your flight, so the team spends 5 hours bumming around in ATL. Get $200 in compensation...(yes, this actually happened to us this year)

"Battle wound has occurred pay $50 in repair fees."

This will be really neat.

It would be nice if it could actually be marketed, I enjoy my PennStateopoly and all the innuendos in it.

Ashley may have an idea there. It wouldn't sell in all stores, but perhaps in the FIRST Store in Atlanta, and on usfirst.org/store.

Re: FIRSTopoly for PC

Amazing idea, I will totally buy it if you make it a real boardgame.

I think, for game pieces, you should mix it up. Some tools, some old game pieces (the tetra in particular), some of the bots from the Kickoff videos, and a Segway. Because that one would look really cool.
