Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
But wouldn't it be even more of a challenge to drive when the wheels are 4 inches in diameter! That would be epic. Maybe a curling bot?

Curling was the 2009 game--required 6" wheels, slick floor, simulating 1/6 gravity--but the floor was nice and slick. The real challenge: No wheels and no tank tracks. Legs or nothing! |

A large number of teams used 4-4.5 inch wheels this year, not limited to 254, 968, 1114, 1771, 177, 233, with a very non-flat field. I'm beginning to think there aren't many games where you can't get away with them. |

Friday, December 3, 2010 The view from 30,000 feet Good Afternoon Teams, I just got back from flying to Pennsylvania with Dean to look for additional FRC corporate support. During the plane ride (yes, Dean was the pilot) I thought of a few more things to tell you this week. |

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
I'll contribute.
"The view from 30,000 feet" is the title. He never mentions anything about what he sees in the blog post, but he does mention he's flying from Pennsylvania (presumably to Manchester) You get a good view of the Allegheny and some of the Appalachian mountains on most flights from Pittsburgh. A few state and national forests too. Not that much water. I also feel compelled to note that while Penn was founded in Pennsylvania, it's currently owned by a company operating out of Austria, while Penn itself operates out of Arizona. |

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
There is a mountain included in the FTC game this year. Could there be some crossover into the FRC game?

Re: 2011 Red Herring #1
The title of bills Dec. 8 blog was "Two steps forward and one step back."
Today he wrote "In light of the upcoming holidays, stand by next week for upcoming game hints." he BOLDED stand by! drum roll please... the 2011 First game Stand By walking robots? or... Sleep mode (in electronics), also known as standby-mode - a mode in which electronic appliances are turned off but under power and ready to activate on command robots receive an additional 10 point bonus if they are designed in a way that does not use wheels to contact the playing surface |

These videos will ultimately be viewed and judged by Paula Abdul, who is tasked with determining each event champion by providing worthwhile and meaningful critiques of the subject matter she is judging. Therefore, the 2011 game will never end. We apologize for this inconvenience, but thank you for playing. ... Oh wow, I just found this online - I'm fairly certain the game will look like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ByNROf8v-Q. I'm utterly *shocked* that someone else had this idea.
