mountain climbing?

I could see football but the GDC would have to write the rules to prevent excessive robot damage and Juggernaut teams (flying V robots).

Hmmmm mountain climbing would be pretty interesting but i wonder how they would make that a team sport?

as for football: it would be pretty cool but i think that game is a bit too human oriented... but then again that makes it a better challenge.

So last year (on the regolith) my co-mentor and I came up with a fantastic idea for a game: Roomba Hockey.

Basically, the floor is regolith/low friction stuff. Maybe even worse than regolith if they could manage. The game pieces are Roombas with everything but the driving parts removed.

The goal of the game would be to corral the roombas into a section of the field... which they could then drive out of, or be removed from by a competitor.

Think slippery "hungry hungry hippos" except the balls can escape and be stolen!

You have to collect shrubberies. Bonus points for cutting down the tallest tree in the forest with a herring.

I hear they're taking an old game and redesigning it. They say it's gonna be the best game yet! It's called "Moonacy!"

And just because... water game!?

This forum needs a rule that disallows this discussion before the end of Atlanta... is that even possible?

I mean, I don't think the GDC is going to give a legitimate hint before the end of Atlanta anyways. And we need something to speculate off of, or it just spirals into another water game thread .

Maybe it'll be a bumperless year!!!

Nah...FIRST likes those things too much...

The god bot will have sails.

hmmm, no one has said baseball?? Tech robots are doing that now. It would me kinda fun, but maybe too easy. We need another Pyramid game, but from what I hear that game was toooo violent lol.

Dodgeball game. You can score by hitting another robot with a ball or catching a ball. If your bot gets hit, it gets disabled for like 5 seconds. If you catch it, the other robot gets disabled and any disabled teammates get re-enabled.

That's a corny idea. Literally.
