Next year's game?

[Pavan Dave]

I'm betting right now that we will have to run over some obstacles that can "explode" or "run over" our robots. Why? Because we wouldn't have switched over to NI's bomb-proof cRio for no reason would we? And I don't think the game design committee would not use the KoP to its FULL potential.

... Dave, what do you think?

All right now, guys. Dave, I think you need to have Heidi put you in a clown suit. Game ideas should probably wait a little bit...

And has no one else noticed that the thread is from 2004? The original question was answered in 2005. It's now 2008 and the thread is being used to discuss the 2009 game. 4 years...that's the typical time of a high school student in FIRST.

I noticed that too!

More finalist/regional winner awards to give out.

I realize that would be a crowded field and a greater chance of robots not having a major role, however, with the right game and right field setup, it can be done.

After spending so much time, effort, and $$$$, I would want to have the opportunity to play as much as we can.

I would personally like to see 3v3v3 or 2v2v2. I think that would be so interesting and fun to play.

That'll be another 1v1v1. The result: "Since collusion, intentional or not, cannot be prevented, it will now be required."--Woodie Flowers, 1999 Kickoff

The background: In the 1998 game, FIRST had noticed that none of the top 10 teams on Friday were there on Saturday. They looked at the matches and found that the two lower teams ganged up on the higher-seeded team. Intentional or not, nobody really knew.

The result was 2v2 alliances, expanded to 3v3 in 2005.
