Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

How would we get the robots on the bars if they're 2-3m off the floor?

Pull ups, just like the end game this year: or there could be a rule that you could start on the bar, within the space extending vertically above your platform.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

It could be like a giant spiderweb with I-beams to ride on and hang on to. Maybe it would popularize controls based on polar coordinates.

or, maybe the robots could be giant stationary arms.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

How about a tennis-themed game where robots have to move balls beyond the opponent into a goal that is about 27' wide (width of field)? There would be a net in the middle, and penalties given for any robot that hits the net, and there would be multiple balls on the field. The balls would have to be retrieved by a robot- sort of the way you would with empty cells in Lunacy, except they would be placed in on the floor.

maybe for auto for something like that the robot can only hit the ball from behind the baseline or whatever represents the baseline like the serve that starts a tennis match

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

Maple syrup game, corn starch game, Jell-O game, butter game, condensed milk game, gatorade game. Maple syrup game gives too much of an advantage to the Canadians actually, nevermind. Water games are so overrated.

Am I close yet?

That sounds like PONG. For you youngsters, that was the first video game available for the public to play. I would say that for this year, it would be too close to breakaway, but does hold some promise for a game down the road.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

Maybe a capture the flag style game, where the robot must collect a marker from the opposing alliance's side of the field and return it to their side of the field.

that would actually be pretty cool! lots of action, but they would have to be possibly more strict with the rules than for the Breakway game due to the bot-on-bot contact with defense/offense. Still an awesome concept though
