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.

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.

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

(not sure how scoring would work?)

Hmmm... so we will have to build a robot with enough AI to figure out what exactly Dave is thinking, in 2:30???

[EvilMonkyPirate]

I think it'll be a water game...lol...

Maybe we'll have to save Dave before he drowns a herring. That seems like fun. But animal control might have a problem with it. lol.

[Molten]

This is quite interesting... It was just making me wonder if we might get a clue really early like we did last year? Perhaps one that actually relates to the game?
