The other night I fell asleep and dreamt about this years game.
When I woke up the next morning I told Joe Johnson about the game in detail.
It was a real cool game that involved alliances and was easy to keep track of the score.
The game strategies were numerous and teams could play offensively and defensively.
Interaction was limited to what might be considered 'interaction zones' (in other words - only in certain areas of the playing field)
I was very excited about the game that I had seen in my dream.
Then another thought crossed my mind!
What if FIRST encouraged people (students, teachers,coaches, engineers, everyone) to submit their ideas like the
Thanksgiving day parade planners do in Detroit.
Everyyear, a couple of kids get a great big beautiful float or balloon created based on their ideas that they submit.
There are deadlines for the submission as one might suspect, but they always leave themselves enough time to
build the float and invite the student down to the parade.
The FIRST game format could allow a whole year for planning and tweaking the chosen submission.
I have been lucky enough to help plan and develop the games that we have used for our
Chief Delphi Invitational, and can tell you that it is really alot of fun to dream up and plan new games that are fun and exciting!
And I can also tell you that creating and developing a great game takes more time than figuring out how to play it!
What do you all think? Should FIRST give something like this a try?
