**FIRST EMAIL**/FRC Game Hint #2

[Kyle O'Don]

At Nationals two years ago, they wondered if the game was challenging enough.

Compared to years past, there is always an aspect of the game that is significantly more challenging and rewarding, most notable the high lighted basket goal two years ago. Thus, scoring with IR assistance, which is inherently complicated from a programing standpoint of Rookie teams, is not entirely necessary, but a must have competitive edge for seasoned teams.

Perhaps, we use the IR to identify game pieces that are fitted with IR receivers/transmitters. Then the pieces must be organized and sorted, giving the game a more realistic feel. Points could be scored through combing or separating different substrata of pieces by color, share, size, and IR signature/identification for extra points. Drawing from "Trinity" church, subway color lines at the square, and the satellite imagery of objects in the square (Circle, Triangle, square), there will most likely be multiple game objects of different types, some of which have IR capabilities.

Oh, the possibilities. Best of Luck!!!
