Oh, so it's your fault. We are supposed to get that crap here tonight and tomorrow in Connecticut.

CRAP!! what you mean that beautiful white thing we like to call snow. I have been missing it here in Toronto, today was actually our first official snow fall... and I have been missing it (it looks a lot better then yellow dead grass).

For an ice game here in Arizona, we'd have to move our venue to the Coyote's Arena. Does this mean I can assume we'd finally get the Cardinal's Staidum/Coyote's Arena venue combo I've been hoping for, and we can push for a super regional (or even the Championship) in 2009?

I drive for a living and every day we don't have that "CRAP" I am happy.

Using snow would stink. Snow is cold, and wet when melted. I just hate it!

ice dosent have to be frozen water.......they make "fake" ice thats like srally slippery plastic that people skate on. it could be a connection to a water game (water + cold = ice)

haha, i just read robotcanuck1676's post. so it's not called an IceTraktor? it should be.

We barely have any ice here in California (At least here in Rohnert Park, where 675 is), so we'd have no way to practice D=

Robots on ice

Synchronized skating with 'bots...ah fun times ahead...
now fire....can you imagine the FLAMETHROWERS one could have? Us safety captains would have a grand ol' time. Although with the fire idea, I can imagine the manual would be twice as long as it is now with all the rules and restrictions.

Whoa, it's going to be a problem to build an arena like this here in Brazil...

i dont know how many times i have heard water or ice or other idiotic ideas like the ones ive seen today. There will never be a water challenge because of the chances of it breaking down in the water. Ice would make it to hard to keep the floor cold enough to have it last a competition. And fire...thats just a joke. PLEASE PPL!!!! THINK!

wind.

what about.........a snakes on a plane themed game where you build a robot that can kill snakes while you fly an air plane

[Cowmankoza]

no need to get angry, this is just a fun-loving thread, btw water based robotics competitions exist, and it would be an extreme leap in fun (as well as difficulty) in the realm of FIRST!
