game element

[IKE]

I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but.... This game needs more Cowbell!

This one is cheap, good size for Vex, stackable (though likely unstable after a few in height), and it has a nice open loop on top. They are also easy to paint for point differentiators, and can be useful/annoying once the season is over.

i do honestly like the cowbell idea but it does not work with the field i have set up already

the field has posts that are of various heights from 3-17" and the cowbells cannot be stacked upon these posts but they are a very interesting idea

the soccer cones have been used and I'm trying to do something totally different. i know what the tetras look like and i was looking for an idea of a different shape made in the same fashion

any ideas on what they can be stacked on besides themselves because the idea i have is to stack the item on something for a multiplier score for the more you have connected to each other

ex

b r r
b b r
r b b
3" 5" 7"

red has a 3x multiplier because they have 3 connected
blue has a 5x multiplier because they have 5 objects connected

poles are of various heights so for this example they are 3", 5", and 7" poles

They are a 4 leg base, so a pyramid will work as long as the slope is about the same. They have a hook on them so they could be hung.

thanks for specs and like i said that really is a good idea for a game element and i think that it could be implemented very well thanks for the cool idea i may have to use that one because i haven't seen anything like it and i try to have a somewhat original idea when im designing a game.

you are very right FIRST does need more COWBELL!!!!
