[bassoondude]

So, its kinda early, but I figured I would go ahead and get this thread started. Here's what I think:
2015 Game Ideas

Water game.

And I thought the 2014 thread was early.

I still support the water game!

Its gotta be flying robots. How else will we have flying cars by the time Marty gets here in his tricked out Delorian?

Don't forget, new control system.

What could actually be cool and doable would be regular FRC robots with flying minibots, so teams can make their own flying contraptions like quad copters for some endgame.

Quidditch us the only reasonable option.

I would like to see the game piece be a tube. Not an inflated inner tube, but a piece of hollow tubing. For example, a 6" diameter x 18" long piece of PVC pipe or some such thing. Length, diameter, weight, surface texture, material could be almost anything. Perhaps different tubes for different tasks and scores.

The objective should include pickup and placement. I don't really care what they have us do with them. It would be an interesting challenge to see how teams picked the game piece up and manipulated its orientation placement.

I have seen enough spheres and toroids for a while.

I've totally got this one.

*Ball Pit*

Harkening back to Maize Craze a bit. Imagine a standard field, filled up to 2 ft high with 6" plastic balls. Robots have to "swim" through the pit to push balls over a weir into a goal. Add some rules for goalies and incentives for team-ups (still thinking about that) and you've got a really neat new game for 2015.
