Re: Next Year's Game?
My idea for next year's game since I am involved with severe weather up here is a severe weather themed game.
The robot would have a rotating tornado down the middle of it and using some means (suction or mechanical) would pick up "hail stones" or something similar to the poof ball game piece and once up at the top the shooter must then score by firing said game piece, score on a fixed goal or on a chaser robot? With of course the chaser robot trying to avoid. Human players could assist in some way with the hail stones. The scoring could somehow be related to the Fujtia scale that tornadoes are rated on. No trailers, need a faster paced game, faster speed for the robots, not so that every robot gets knocked over but a bit more intensity would be nice, more action and scoring and a less cluttered field than this year. The rotating funnel cloud or "tornado" once the cloud makes contact with the field could also pick up hail stones from the field as well and score, not just score with it's allotment of pre-loaded pieces. I'll let someone else add were and how they would like to see lightning and thunder introduced to this game. ![]() Hopefully someone from FIRST reads this and I've just saved a whole lot of people a year's worth of planning and design ![]() Now from a camera operator perspective....anything but white on the field floor as it's a huge problem to adjust from shooting the field to the players at the control stations and up to the stands to the stands. Now how ironic would it be though for Team 188 "The Blizzard" to be driving force behind a tornado? Sorry, I just had to much time on my hands this morning while I am waiting for some parts for my news/chase truck so I had to write this ![]() Mark Last edited by Mark Rozitis : 02-05-2009 at 00:01. |
