Juggling robots? how about a robot riding a unicycle? (we've actually discussed how to do this at our house! talk about a wierd family)

Seems to me that big foam cubes are the next likely game piece....something square....maybe fuzzy dice?

[Molten]

I am surprised that dlavery would post so early, not to mention the fact that it is on a thread I started. I know this is off topic but this is an honor. Does he even know anything about next year's game yet?

[MrForbes]

He's probably scouting ideas right now...watch what you say! or your robot will have to juggle red herring next year

Dude, Dave Lavery is next year's game.

So that's the game! Dave Lavery mannequins will be the scoring objects complete with Hawaiian shirts.

It will be creepy, scary, and eerily satisfying for the symbolic revenge over the stresses of each year's game.

In teleoperation Dave juggles red herrings, and robots circle around him hoping to catch them ...[/size]

Either way I think 116 just charges at him with a hammer.

Maybe, the robots will have to put the Hawaiian shirts on the Dave Lavery mannequins.

I've always thought PVC batons with end caps would make a good game piece. The game could be designed so that teams can score points easier by gathering them up off the floor into a bin and depositing them somewhere, but score more by manipulating individual batons precisely and scoring in some other way. Largish end caps (~twice the radius of the baton) could make it so that they are not too much of a pain to pick up, but still a challenge.

I think that replacing the Hawaiian shirts on Dave Lavery mannequins would be infinitely more popular. If we had to put them on the mannequins, there had better be another way to get points because I can forsee a boycott of that scoring action....

30 bonus points if you can put a banana in its shirt pocket.

Why only use one type of game piece? I'm surprised there isn't more talk about using two different types of game pieces. I.E. pool noodles AND inner tubes, or something similar to that.

[Rick-906]

what about trashing the idea of balls/rings/noodles/objects in general...
imagine an obstacle course
