Next year's game?

[karinka13]

I say melt all the ice and play the game on water...make the robots slightly waterproof and add floatation devices...or you could go for the submarine aspect...

i loved two ideas on this thread... the stairs and the water. but the water wud be kinda hard with a lot of expensive electronic equipment on board.
the stairs wud be a neat idea if something more was added and make the stairs look "not so challenging". well but anywayz, whatever the first officials decide its gonna make our heads hurt for sure

How is this for a 'real' problem. Marine debris, trash in the water, junk in the rivers and lakes is a serious problem. Most people don't know about it because it is out of sight, out of mind. Last year volunteers pulled out over 2,200 tires from the Potomac river basin. It got us to thinking, if FIRST students can pick up things about the size of a tire (rack and roll), how about a real tire!!

So in the off season we are working on a robot, actually two robots to be used to collect marine debris. There are a couple of articles about it on our website at http://www.kellrobotics.org

This is a tough project but as Woodie said recently at the kickoff it is supposed to be hard.

Anyone want to help out ? collaborative design ? what say you ? It will be something to work on during the off season !!

Don't you have some dates to check? The question was answered by "tetras."

Do you think hybrid mode for autonomous should be implemented next year?

I think this thread should go back to the grave... I would make a new thread of the discussion of that topic.

When will the game piece finally be Krispy Kremes? I can see it now. Stack donuts onto a pole and deliver them to your human player for an eating contest. Tasty Tower.

Defense would be quite delicious in that game.

I suppose this is why the games are so well put together and Dave gets to torment us for 8 months a year.
