Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

Maybe the last 20 seconds of teleop will be done in complete darkness. Teams are forced to use onboard sensors or night-vision cameras (in 2011 KOP???).

Or, maybe autonomous will become more important than just the first 20 seconds. Maybe teams will receive bonus points for scoring in a 30 second autonomous mode.

Whatever the game is, January can't come soon enough.

I think many are starting to disagree with that statement.... The tournements, being played espically in michigan, are some of the best I've seen in 2 years. Watching teams to try to come up with plans of attack agasint hardcore teams (469), is something you havent seen in two years. A robot can dominate and people will come to watch that one robot play. Atlanta finals are gonig to be nuts, and probably x20 times more exciting than last year!! In this game you can't have 30 point blowouts in elmiations..1 point can make the difference.. Plus we will see the best hangers from around the world on the same field..

I think Breakaway may be the best game FIRST has had since 2006. Especially in the elims.
Now if only they haven't gone for that ranking system (even "improved" it's still kinda dopey. Gimmie W-L-T any day).

Yeah! Now that is going to be an epic game! I have also seen many posts on this thread and many others about having... a semi-autonomous as the End Game. This seems like a really neat idea... and one that has a good chance of being implimented. I only wonder how they will manage to pull off a houdini on the drivers... besides having a massive curtain go over the drivers stations.

Another trend of posts I have seen allot of, is how bad this year is. I personally love this year. And really(!), how could you say something like that after last year? Lunacy? This year adds a whole new challenge with the bumps. (Though I do understand the difficulty has been hard on many teams (including mine) due to the weather).

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

guess it wasn't pointless after all... lol. I personally liked breakaway and watching all the other competitors tackle the multiple challenges in there own unique way. unfortunately it was a little too hard for my team. but i do know one thing: Next year I"m going to take on a leadership role and make sure everyone knows about 1601. whatever the game is we'll be ready (puts on determined face)

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

I really didnt think this years game was going to be all that great at first, but after watching/competing in some events I think this years game is awesome!

Only idea I have for next years game is the main playing element will not be round, or at least not a nice ball. Just look at events from about 2002 on, even numbered years are a nice ball, odds are not. Only somewhat deviation is last year, but that still was not really a ball.

Haha, we met the brazilian team 1772 at Palmetto. Their bot last year was kinda nonfunctional, but they BEASTED this year, making it all the way to finals after ranking 6th. Hmm...

I'm seeing a pattern: last year basketball, this year soccer. Perhaps next year baseball? Maybe robots have to catch balls and drive to certain areas with them. Or even tennis (prepares to bring a ball feeding machine to competition).
I bet the GDC's already bookmarked this thread. For the sake of seeing a robot using bumpers as floaties: Water Game!

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

I think that there are major themes that FIRST tries to go by. Last year, scoring balls, wasn't anything spectacular, it was the regolith flooring that made the game correlate with a major lunar accomplishment.

Likewise, this year, it was soccer with a twist in accordance with the FIFA world cup coming up.

It seems that FIRST is starting to go out and get inspiration from this going on around the world, and in that manner, they develop the game. But I think it is *impossible* to guess the twist that the GDC adds to each game.

Like if you tell someone we're playing soccer, there's nothing overly hard about that. If you show them the field and tell them about a couple of the rules, then the entire game changes.

We can really only wait and see what the GDC keeps pumping out.
