Re: Next Year's Game?

Actually, I think I found the answer. Somewhere in the spotlights, this thread is linked: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...?postid=441106

Well, we haven't had either of the '08 or '09 games as planned, now have we... I guess they might move up the timetable on the hair-cutting...

Re: Next Year's Game?

What about a game of laser tag? Using the same 3v3 alliances, all three robots have a laser pointer but only one of them is the target. Of course for saftey reasons the laser pointer should be kept close to the ground. The target is picked at random encouraging the creation of a versitile robot. There can be various obsticles scattered around the field making a more dynamic driving experience. In autonomous, robots must navigate through the course on their own, jocking for key postions before the start of the tele-op. This game would mostly be won based on strategy than just robot design, giving teams who have less resources than others a fair chance at winning.

Re: Next Year's Game?

If you build a game where strategy alone beats good design, then why would one desire to take the challenge of building a competitive robot? If the game could be won by any robot, you have no incentive to try and push your team forward.

That would be awesome. I've always wanted to see a game where we can finally grab on to the field elements.

Maybe there is another way to do something similar without the streaming video?
Why not let teams stream video if they want to but limit the bandwidth they get. I believe 802.11G has 56Mb/s so if we only gave each team 2Mb/s then the 6 robots would only take up less than 1/4 of the bandwidth (at worst) and FMS would enjoy lots of bandwidth. Then you let teams do with their bandwidth as they choose

Something simpler, I could probably see. But I highly doubt that this will be practical for another couple decades.

Re: Next Year's Game?

One function proves that that idea is no good:
Code:
go_go_go();
I know that I, at least, would enjoy a game that focused less on human players besides strategists and controlling the robot. Lunacy's human player element threw the game off IMHO.

Something that made more use of AI would be fun...core wars (or similar) during a FRC match between 6 robots? Happy fun time!

Re: Next Year's Game?

It would be crazy if two of the three robots on each alliance were "chained" and had to do some task together.....

Or maybe all three would be "chained" to some really heavy "thing" and had to play a game while dragging it around.....



or tied to each alliance station wall and maybe the middle of the feild by bungee's so the farther you went the harder it was to move...

Re: Next Year's Game?

MORE CRAZY FLOORS!

Like... A GIANT BALL PIT.

Or the game is like... FIND THE NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK. NO MAGNETS ALLOWED!

That would be fun.

I really want to see a capture the flag game. I've been trying to create one, but I can never quite figure out how it would work.

Re: Next Year's Game?

Like the bungee idea, think no magnets is slightly obvious. Giant ball pit? Challenge: do not sink. You have 2:15. Fail and face erasure.

For CTF, we'd need a 2x2 field size-twice as long in each direction-for it to be really fun. Plus a small envelope...
