i think first goes a little too far with the safety thing. they say most of these rule are for safety but i think they just like to get on our nerves. for example: why limit the amount of motors we can use? |

By limiting the number and type of motors, the maximum power is roughly equalized for everyone, pneumatics being the "roughly" part. Imagine competing at sumo wrestling against a pro sumo wrestler, and that's what could happen if you put the quantity of motors to unlimited. |

Another reason for it is it's a design challange. Using less than optimal motors to do specific tasks means improvisation and innovation ... both are good things IMHO. |

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
I think that it will not have balls as game objects because they used balls the last 3 years.
I also think they won't model after another sport. I hope they make a game that allows for very creative out of the box robots. Many this year are boxes. |

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
I liked breakaway, because of all the strategy that was involved in it. I'd hope they continue to produce games with a lot of strategy. I'd imagine that the GDC would go with a combination game for FIRST's 20th year(combination of past games).

On the topic of creativity in regards to the robot, I do wish that this game allowed for more different ideas. One of the main reason I enjoyed Lunacy was because there were so many robots with different ways of scoring; I said "Wow, that's clever/ingenious" countless times the first day of competition. This year, it all seems to be the same bot and similar kicker design. The only thing that is different that I still go crazy over is the way each team manages to lift itself. That still drops my jaw. I just think that next year should open the door a little more and allow for more creativity. $0.02 |

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
Agreed. This was my first year going to FRC and I saw a few lifters that blew my mind. They showed me what "out of the box thinking" really is.

I have it on good authority that we will be required to launch and retrieve a flying ROV.
