Re: 2010 5th Gear FRC Match Simulator

I tried it solo.

It's an amazing feat of physics simulation of the game.

I was able to drive into a goal but not out of it. Will the real goals act as Venus fly traps to teams that try to snow plow a ball into the goal?

Do you think the GDC designed the slippery floor in the goal with chains and embracing foam with the capture of small bots in mind?

Would shoving another bot into a venus fly trap while trying to push a ball in there be considered overly aggressive? Or to use an American football analogy, would it be considered like a fullback running through a cornerback near the goal line in order to score a touchdown?

The goals could be sort of become like the fire pits on Battlebots...

The only thing I noticed that I did not like about the physics of the game was that if you hit the wall while running almost parallel with it, it stopped you immediately instead of just slowing you down and allowing you to turn the rest of the way parallel to the wall.
