No Way That's Gonna Happen!

i think first should design a game with more interaction between teams, like you have to score on the other alliances robots somehow

multiple story playing field anyone?

and the drivers could be on scissor lifts that would change height depending on where the robot is.

Other than that.............


Soup Game!

A robot collects meat veggies and broth and makes it hot, then serves it to the refs, scoring could be based half on how good the soup is, and half on how well you picked up the ingredients

(original Idea by some kid from rat pack ( I just think it's awsome)!)

Robot Iron Chef?

(Sounds like something straight out of Futurama...)

yeah I agree. but i think that it will be more like you have to pass the ball or whatever from teammate to teammate. so you really need to work with them, or your whole alience suffers, that or i think that it would be cool to have a multi leveled playing field, like each robot is responsible for getting it up to the next level for the next robot to score.

Multi Leveled might be hard, but just having sections with walls and having to pass the scoring object would definitely be possible and fun. Have the alliances going in opposing directions, and you could still play defense.

After seeing this years hint, I have something that I can now say will never, ever, not until the end of time, happen: We will never see a game hint that allows us to guess at what the game will be, nor one that fails to cause a ridiculous amount of speculation.

What I would like to see happen is a game when they switch on auto mode at random points during the game.

People will read the manual before asking questions.

A three-sectioned field with one robot from each alliance in the box, and you need to get game pieces from one side of the field to the other with the help of your teammates, or by flinging it all the way over?

They could do it so you can throw the pieces over, but the robot on the recieving end still has to pick it up and put it on a pylon or something to score. Think any one of FIRST's crazy stacking games.

Then you get three kinds of robots I can think of: Defenders (low to the ground, lots of torque, just there to mess your day up and push you around), Throwers (the name says it all) and, lets call them "Arms" (Arm-equipped robots that can pick up, pass, and stack the game pieces for scoring.

There, you retain the element that defense is important (assuming we're on carpet again, where you can actually push people around easily), but you can't exactly win if all you do is defend.

I kind of like that idea, actually. Teamwork isn't required but you'll get leaps and bounds farther.

Oh, but in the interest of fairness, let people choose which section to put their team's robot in. That way you don't get a defender on the end where it can't help you score at all. That'd be no bueno.
