Re: Calling All Mentors; Its your turn!

What would you guys thought of Flop Frenzy: Lowering the Bar?

Anyway, a quick overview.



The game is played on a standard size MVP field (10 x 14, roughly proportional to an FRC field). On the field are 16 "flops" (two standard frisbees screwed together), 8 corresponding to an alliance. Three start in the alliance's Scoring Zone and 5 are on the opposite end of the field. You get points for "flipping" the flops from the black side up to the red or blue side up (2 points). If the flipped flop is in the Scoring Zone, it is worth 5 points. Having the rubber Bonus Ball on your side of the field is worth 10 points.

In the center of the field are two Ramps and two limbo bars (a lot like Stack Attack in a way). The Limbo Bar's height is less than that of the Bonus Ball (probably 6 inches), making it a challenge to build a robot that can go under it and to possess the Bonus Ball. Larger robots can cross the field using the ramps. At the end of the game, if both ramps are touching one side of the field, that alliance gets 20 points.

Should be an interesting game. Too bad I can't compete, I have a really nice design... I will give anyone points for building a robot that climbs over the Limbo Bar!
