Re: 2009 here we come!

Hey, Dave... How about taking a look at Joe Ross's idea instead of dropping "hints" everywhere?

Peter, if you are really in the mood for some fun, you could just find all of Dave's posts and read them. Some of them are... well... hilarious!

Also, since we've already had over-the-top-big game pieces that crash into things, the robot could need to handle really small, delicate game pieces! Breaking/denting a game piece cuts the points scored for that piece in half. Bumpers would be optional, and wedges would be allowed. HOWEVER, we would also need to climb up ramps to carefully place ice hockey pucks made of soft, bendable plastic on shelves hanging from the center of the arena accessible from both sides. Extra points for shooting a puck through these shelves and knocking off opponents' pucks, and a mad dash at the end of the game as more extra points are scored for being in the home zone! I think I liked 2006 a bit too much. And perhaps went a little into Overdrive with my game hopes.

SIMULATE an ice game:
(0) Carpeted arena stays. . . no falling refs ! !
(1) No drivetrain
(2) Use omni wheels or casters
(3) Push off the walls (or other bots) with arms or pistons
(4) The rest is up to the community. . . .
