Well yea, but of course if they make a game with water I'm pretty sure they will be alot more serious when the jeduges look at the robots and evaluate them making sure they are completely safe. There should be not a single chance of error with a game with water

Re: 2007 game field...

We should have mailboxes so that the challenge could be to make the robots get the mail and bring it to the 'house'. Then after that the most successful robots can be patented, sold, and make loads of money for the builders!!!

I bet that would really bring the heat in competition and make very interesting!

Re: 2007 game field...

I think it would be cool to have marbles as game pieces. It would be unique because you'd pretty much have to treat it as a fluid and it would lead to some interesting concepts. Think about instead of scoring a large game piece, filling up an object with marbles and depending on how full it is that's what you are scored on? How would you collect something less than an inch off the ground?


Everything abot this idea is pretty cool but there's one reason why I can thing it won't happen... marbles are slippery... and they get everywhere... Imagine these little things getting all over the pits, and then at random you see people go airborne, carrying things... Yeah...

It would still be pretty cool though.

Re: 2007 game field...

Water is impractical. And FIRST always uses things from the previous year. This year it was the scoring system. Three points for center goal (top of tetra) one point goal (one point in tetra). My guess is either squares or cubes. a fan/wind would be really cool.

Re: 2007 game field...

I say more water!

It would be cool if we had like an aquarium or something and we had to build a robot to like collect rings at the bottom and than have to bring it to the top to human players who could place it in a goal or something. It would be like the oposite of human player gives robot -something- and robot scores O.o

This would make human players much more important and needed. They could throw the ring or object into a goal in the middle of the aquarium at obtain points. Theres just sooo many possibilities..
