New Game Progress

[ttldomination]

Although it's been mentioned before, I'll say it again, I think water is extremely unlikely.

1. Water is hard to build, yes, water is hard to build. . At regionals, if you're looking at a robot playing field with the 2-D layout of this year, and then you think about going about roughly 6 feet high. That' is a LARGE field. Also a lot of water. FIRST makes challenges, but I don't think they are cruel.

2. About Dave's fish, I have hypothesis about that. it could be that he's just trying to get the hype up about the feared water game or that the field this year will be "bumpy". The fish has scales and is generally bumpy. Expect terrain this year.

With the FTC game having some soft of terrain this year, I wouldn't be surprised to see the FRC game have some sort of terrain as well.

Consider the stench after a 3 day event under those lights

I agree that it could be Dave playing some sort of a mind game with us. I wouldn't be surprised. We still love you though Dave, keep em clues coming.

Could be?! Try 'most definitely is'. I've learned to stop listening to Dave between April and January. It makes my life a whole lot less stressful.

I don't go quite that far, I listen to dave and then assume anything that contains the words 'game', 'hint', 'water', or 'jello' are jokes. Other times mr. Lavery can be quite funny and informative. Plus, it is nice to read posts that are usually free from grammatical and spelling errors. (I cant say always, I haven't read all of his posts)

And about the frozen fish, try keeping fish frozen in Hawaii, or Brazil. Yeah though, frozen fish would work GREAT in Michigan, just open the window a crack.

Im still holding out for construction barrels, just cuz I want to see robots do what I want to do whenever I see them.

whats a construction barrel? is that like a 55 gallon drum

You know, if a water game's out of the question...

...what about Robo-Quidditch?

[ttldomination]

Robot Quidditch and water game is now out of the question. .

It's just that.

1. It's hard enough to make regular robots, much less a flying robot. .

2. Assuming ur on the ground, the whole passing aspect of the game is totally wack. One robot would hold the ball the entire time.

It would be a bit tough if your robot was disabled 10 feet off the ground...
