Re: Concerning controllers and the player zone

I already have something that will adapt my PS2's dancemat to the chicklet. I checked on my own accord during the build season, but I haven't been very vocal about this idea until recently.

Al: Thank you for your concern, but I definitely would not take away any time or matches that were crucially important to the team's rankings. If worst comes to worst, we can always use the dance mat in future public demonstrations that we have planned. Even if it does not breach the rules, I do want to be very cautious about implementing this sort of controller during the competitions.

You just never know the hand that fate will deal you. In Atlanta, every match is important. You will be only one of 80-100 teams in your division, a DQ or disable in just one match may be something very difficult to come back from. However, a demo controller during the off season would be a great learning platform and cool way to involve other students and schools.

Re: Concerning controllers and the player zone

thought it would help with other awards, I can imagine having to dance to control the robot would be very tough to do and possibly be a disadvantage to the team.
But I have to see it! What competitions are you going to be in?

Definitely, I'll keep that in mind. At the very least, it'll allow the members of our team (such as myself) who have never dealt with programming to learn a trick or two.
