Re: Army of Slugs

It's not exactly slime but would nuclear sludge count? Robots were used to clean out nuclear waste storage tanks since exposure would quickly kill a human.

It couldn't be radioactive waste, but "sludge" would make an interesting "game piece."

We should also think about adding Mario Kart items like Red Shells and Banana Peels.

As long as they're fake banana peels... eeew.

I dunno about a slime/sludge game, though... who would want to carry the robot onto a field full of slime? Or trudge back through it to pick it up again? There's a lot I'll do for robotics (including getting covered head to toe in mud, which I have done)... but playing with slime for four months is pushing it.

It couldn't be radioactive waste,

why not? Human players being required to wear NBC suits would add a certain level of difficulty to this years game.

Talk about a real world challenge. If you succeed score a win for your alliance. If you lose everyone in the arena dies.
No pressure kids.
