Re: 2006/2007 FVC speculation?

Jello? Clown? Bunny? Jello bunny...an animal with a consistency similar to Jello.

Hey, I know it! Well, I think I know what the game pieces are. For a couple months I've been making fun of Chuck for his game idea, but it really IS going to be a FARMING GAME!

Also, the clown is wearing yellow. Jello, yellow. Yellow is the third color, if we didn't already know that.

Note to self. Regardless of the 90-degree incline, find out if banking is the proper term to use since this isn't an asphalt oval and turns aren't always to the left.


Quiet Dave!!! You told me you'd shut up until we figured out how to incorporate the soft little bunny.



you started it Billfred
so little time, so many ways to mess with people...
Don't say you never got any really good game hints, and so long ago too ...

Alright, I'm thinking this might be some sort of hint. (For those that don't know, Kres was part of the GDC for this year's FVC game.)

As one of the autonomous referees in Atlanta, I can say from experience that autonomous matches were just not that exciting. There wasn't much to them--the better ones might get their one starting ball into the center goal and hopefully hit the pad.

So perhaps instead of an autonomous match, this year's game will have an element that can only be done (or done well) with the use of sensors. Call that one how you'd like.

Re: 2006/2007 FVC speculation?

Water game?

<pause for hysterical laughing>

Now that it's too late to have any impact on the game (since the announcement is Wednesday...), I'd love to see some variant of the autonomous fire-fighting games that are sometimes done for college and hobby competitions. Of course, the open flames might be a problem... how about a bright low-voltage light with a moisture sensor?

I'd love to help the students develop a 75mm Jell-O gun...

Well, today's the day! (I'll be checking the FIRST website all day) Do you think it will involve a clown juggling a rabbit named Jello? Stay tuned to find out what our Game Design Committee has up their sleeve!
