2009 - Ice Game

[Squishylizard]

If we're going to speculate shouldn't we at least speculate about the 2008 game?

...and flog that dead horse? Everyone knows that 2008 is going to be FIRE themed...

in the pic it looks like the bots are actually skateboarding, perhaps the game is to get the most air after jumping the ramp

WHOA!! Guys, Dean would not do this for one reason...It would completly put the icecapades out of buisness. This reminds me of the farside comic "The icecrusades". I do hope fire is the theme next year, just to hear the batteries pop.

Now my question on the ice game is, would a team be allowed to put spikes in their wheels in order to obtain traction or would that still be barred? lol

That would probably be considered damaging the playing field

Robots on ice

[Ansem Retort]

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.

That would be amazing. It would be really cool if they came up with a game like that only it was a game of hockey. You could have a arm shoot back and forth to shoot a puck and maybe a defensive robot as a goalie .

Just givin the idea some thought. Maybe the 2011 game will be on MARS! Just Kiddin

duuuude, i modled something on cad, and it doesnt work in real life? whats up with that? oh, and i cant run my robot on qbasic 98 edition, should i get the 2000 qbasic edition?

[Zanella BR]

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.

[mormannoob]

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!

Dang. Since you said there will never be a water challenge, I guess I will just have to scrap all those plans for the 2008 game and start over.

Now where did I put that idea for the jello-based game.....
