Go to Post Engineering is so much easier when you give all the components personalities. Then you just watch the drama unfold and try to fix it. - EricVanWyk [more]

Talking Re: Woodie's Game Hint @ Atlanta

ok heres my idea

What if the field was a pool (water would represent jello in the hint as jello is mostly water) and in the center of the rectangular pool is a wall. Now on that wall are bullseye targets with 5 lights above them. These lights represent the point value of the target. Teams would score on these targets by shooting ping pong balls at them. this wall would be double sided of course and the alliance on the other side is trying to do the same thing. now the trick to this is that the targets are always changing their values so that you have to shoot rather quickly to hit them at their top score. (this represents the stock market)

Now to make it more difficult there are 3 floating orbs that make it more difficult for the teams to move around. (these represent the gerbils). these orbs would be repositioned every match.

The scoring structure would look like Knex (self explanitory).

Now to protect the field crews, the battery on the robots would have to be on top. that way if the robot sinks the battery isn't wet. a gfci tripper would be mandatory on the robots. also poles at the base of the robot prevent the robot from tipping over and getting the battery wet.

a possible bonus would be that teams would have to drive to a ramp and hook on to a hook that would pull the robot up out of the water. if the team gets all three up they get the bonus.

i forgot to add that for saftey reasons the pool would have to be a certain depth so that if the robot sinks the battery at the top wont get wet.

(please note this is just a fantasy of mine not actually truth)

Anyway thats just my idea.
