My hints and guess on the Game in 2004!

[Sachiel7]

What about if they're stationary they're stationary they're stationary?
Heh, j/k
I'd have to agree. I don't think FIRST is going to go up and over the edge with auto mode this year. So, they'll make the game so that auto mode is a little more challenging for experienced teams.

Sorry Guys but I have to go with the good old rookie theory there arn't that many vet teams that can program *cough* Well *cough* in C let alone in auto cause I mean look at all the idle teams last year. Our team is working on it but with out controls for the Edu bot (We're cheap ) its kind of difficult getting it right. And as far as the Drums go yeah I think thats it cause it is different ("to the beat of a different drum")!

Now all we have to do is figure out how where the drums will be in relation to the stairs and then what we will be having to do in autonomous at the end of the match.

b) wouldn't you then run the risk of damaging said robot?

Not if they slid it in carefully, and even if it did hit it, that part would have to be relocated. The robot has to fit in it at rest position after all.

As to having autonomous at the end, nah. Let's have autonomous randomly occurring throughout the match!

you were mentioning drums earlier on in this post....it would be pretty cool to have the robots be giant wheels.....i don't know what they are called...maybe uniwheel....not a unicycle. anyways that would be pretty darn cool if a robot ended up like that. oh, and what if you had to do something like bowling??? ne ways...sorry for messing with your heads.....

oh visit redvsblue.com
very very funny.

If you have any guesses what my guess is, please feel free to share them here!!!

Oh, and I will reveal what I know (or don't know) on Monday so keep checking back at that link to see what I think FIRST has in store for us in 2004.

MY IDEA THAT WAS THOUGHT OUT FOR A LONG TIME........
A robot racing up/down a feight of stairs, then moving an obect up/down and repeating for an extended time until one team either gets all of the objects, or time runs out and one team has the most. alliances? There's a possibility. and more than two robots competing at once time is also believable. It is also possible that the objects that are being moved can be stolen or "borrowed" but that's just my interpertation of the hint and everyone's ideas. Might be the answer, then again it might not be. It's just my opinion.
