[Official 2008 Game Design] OK, so YOU design the 2008 game...

[65_Xero_Huskie]

Field:
56'x26'
The field is seperated into two by a 18'x18'x4' Box that had an 1" taken out on top of it to create a platform inside it. With 2 flags on it that were on posts that were 5' and spun. There would be 2 goals (one in each corner) that are 7'x7'x1' with a hole in the middle that would connect to a chute that shot out the bottom to the human player. On both sides of the field (Between the Human Players) There would be a holder with 200 balls in it that would release them on command.

The game pieces are wiffle balls (about 3"D) There would be 200 on the field at a time (100 per side). There would also be 2 red and 2 blue Balls (5"D) and a Bonus Gold one that would come if you won auto mode.

Lol. Cant get it to stay even.

Robot Sizes:

Same basic rules as last years.

Human player:

The Human Player can take the balls from their section (will look like 2006) and throw them onto the field. They can try to score into their goals on the other side of the field.

Autonomous:

The goal is to put the balls in your robot (you hold 15 at start) into one of the goals. Highest points gets the Gold ball.

Match Length:

Autonomous Mode lasts 20s.The Balls drop from the holder at 15s after the Human Control starts. The Winner of automode would then go on defense and their goals would be shut off for the first 45s of match. Then it would switch. In the last 40s would be a free-for-all Then the match with Human control lasts 2m10s


Scoring:

The object is to get the balls that drop from the holder on the side of the field into the goals on your side of the field, Each ball scored is worth 2 points. If a flag was pointing twords your side of the field at the end of the match you recieved 15 bonus points per flag. Also if your robot had its alliances color ball on the box at the end it was worth 10 additional points (Gold ball is worth 20 but only the Auto mode winner gets points if it is on the box)
