Possibility for 2016 Game

[Yamin]

This year in the reveal video FIRST seemed to lean to how much they wanted people to not only use pool noodles but to pick them up with the robots. In this season I personally did not see a single robot do this and I would not be surprised if this made Dean a bit disappointed. So I am thinking for the 2016 game he may try and reuse the pool noodles and make the game more focused on them. Thoughts?

I would be surprised... Did you notice how they break up so easily? Would make such a huge mess on the field, and they would have to replace them more often


Edit: I think Football would make a great game

Shooting noodles into goals.

I would imagine that being an FRC-sized version of the 09-10 FTC game, HotShot.

In response to the glaring lack of interaction (aka violence) in this year's game FIRST will bring back violence and then some by having robots be the goal/target and score as many hit points as possible on opposing robots. Bonus points for making hard contact dents with bumper to bumper interaction. There will even be an endgame where teams deploy drones to attack drive teams with Nerf darts. Human players armed with baseball bat will stand ready to swat marauding drones from the sky.

BEST. GAME. EVER.

Let me guess:

Hockey Game
Football Game
Water Game

They may add more action which I personally would love to see however something that would be hilarious is having to catch hollow Frisbees on pool noodles

2011 was the 20th anniversary of FRC, so they had a FIRST-based game. Scoring the FIRST logo gave you bonus points, and the addition of mini-bots was to try to get FRC teams to work with FTC teams.

2015's game hint showed all the previous games being played, but didn't recycle the games.

Because 2016 will be the 25th anniversary of FRC, a "landmark year", I think we see a combination of previous game elements.

Here's hoping for a 2009 playing field and wheels, playing the 2008 game with 2015 litter, divided in half with 2012 co-op bridges, and 2011 minibots climbing the 2013 pyramid.

What, not a good idea?

You just blew my mind and most likely my team's wallet
