FRC Game in 2009

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what the FRC game will be this year? I say it will be a variation of baseball, with a swinging bat type mechanism.

Yes, we all do.

Oh, and a water game.

Regional Directors don't have much to do with game design.

Re: FRC Game in 2009

but they do have to organize a venue . . lol no I dont know why she wanted the pool, but it came on the same day that some of the students were talking about past years games and what to expect in this years game to some new mentors. I had a good laugh.

Re: FRC Game in 2009

Whatever the challenge is, expect very little programming challenge. I don't think FIRST is going to push teams abilities to figure out the new controller, lab view, and on top of that come up with crafty code all in the same season.

The game... hmm. I think this is going to be another game requiring manipulation of big objects way up high, like Triple Play.

Usually when FIRST introduces new technology they expect us to use it.

I guarantee you there will be some mega-bonus for doing something fancy in auton/hybrid with the new controller.

Im not so sure about this, why not, isnt the idea of going to the new system to make things easier. More power and less importance emphasized on the nitty gritty of the processor and more top level coding?
We maybe doing something complex compared to previous years and systems, but i feel that because of this shift to a new system we will be doing a whole lot more than we have in the past years in terms of coding.

Re: FRC Game in 2009

Label me a realist if you will, but it's all speculation till we find out what the game is.

Funny that you should mention Triple-Play and the controller in the same post.

The last time they added a major piece of hardware (the camera ... during Triple-Play), they asked us to try and find a non-illuminated, non-fixed position, non-fixed-orientation, target ... pick it up and put it on a structure. Yeah, they won't challange us programming wise

I actually expect this year to have an easy programming game (for those that have trouble programming) with high bonus points for autonomous quests completed (real programming challanges).

Re: FRC Game in 2009

The only thing that i can say for sure is that the innovation in control award is either gonna be taken by someone very deep on the ins with labview or else someone with one more switch than the rest only because the programming with labview is fairly simple *in theory*
