New Game Hint? - Crackerjacks, Haagen-Dazs cups and Diet Coke cans?

[Chris is me]

I'm trying to figure out what any of those have to do with using one's head. Hmmm..... Any ideas?

well you have to eat them all.....collecting something?

I'm sure you all remember these...
I could see a game that involves sorting items. It'd just be incredibly challenging, and rely a lot on the new camera and/or the drivers

I still think that it has something to do with stacking things. Maybe on the robot as opposed to on the field in referrence to the bit about using your head (balancing on your head) .

Sorry Eric, I don't follow much in this forum.

[jmanela]

maybe you put the different game elements inside of the boxes?

If a game involving shape seperation & organization finally emerges in 2010, I will echo the statement of many with a great big "FINALLY!!!"

The idea of a game with that element to it has been discussed since I joined FIRST way back in 2001 - & I'm sure well before....

The ice-cream containers... I'm telling you! Its a lamp-shade!

Hmm what about a tetris game? The idea was tossed around at a robot demo today, and it does make a bit of sense with the different shapes bit. Don't have the first (pardon the pun) clue how you'd make a robotics game out of it though.

Edit: Oops, thanks iCurtis (Silly spell-check >.<).

I think Mr. Pockets might have meant tetris. Tetras does fit rather nicely though...

stacking things won't be that interesting. What should be done is manuvering around while trying to score.

I dunno. Stacking's gonna be hard, but it would definitely be interesting to see those robots.

or it could just be like the logo of first.

Crackerjacks - come in a plastic bag
Haagen-Dazs cups - are cardboard
Diet Coke Cans - made of aluminum

I agree with a "go green" theme and sorting items but that still doesn't explain...

Man this thread went crazy.


So after a long day on the express register and seeing at lest 15+things of Haagen Daza ice cream and too much diet coke, i thought of a couple of ideas.

Like what was mentioned earlier about ice cream containers getting smaller, and possibly the crate sizes which means smaller robot dimensions. I then thought of this- What do most people do when they go on a diet. Change to diet soda, which in most cases in diet Coke.

So my thoughts are smaller crate size/robot size (Haagen Dazs containers getting smaller) and less robot weight (Diet Coke)

my ideas
