Hehe, I have, and the Americans got beat up big time. Although this would be a cool game how consistent would it be? I mean after every game would you have that IceTraktor go over the ice to smooth it out? How would they keep the field consistent is my main worry. ALTHOUGH if you used treads properly it wouldn't matter.

- how dare you call it an "IceTraktor"! It's a ZAMBONI- haven't you ever listened to Canadian Idiot??- [side note]Wierd Al is really funny sometimes- although Canadian Idiot wasn't as good as White n' Nerdy[/side note].

That would surely make an interesting Florida Regional. Would it actually require us not to wear shorts and the warm clothes that none of us Floridians have?

"Ice? What's that?"

With this game each venue would already be equipped with a team social, ice skating party anyone? I could only imagine the poor volunteers though...

some teams would have trouble with the "not destroying the game pieces or arena" rule. Not to mention it would completely mess up over perfect traction robots!

Not really. Just make a robot with gigantic spikes on the treads... [during a match- the announcer] "Ooh, and there goes Team X's whole control board... sorry guys... [/during a match- the announcer]

IceTraktor? its called an IceTraktor?! gosh my childhood would have been so much more exciting if an "IceTraktor" cleaned the ice after my youth hockey games instead of that lame zamboni.

That would be amazing. It would be really cool if they came up with a game like that only it was a game of hockey. You could have a arm shoot back and forth to shoot a puck and maybe a defensive robot as a goalie .

Just givin the idea some thought. Maybe the 2011 game will be on MARS! Just Kiddin

[JGram]

[R.Greene]

118 is in Texas, no ice down here.

having a competition on ice would be pretty crazy!

But if there was one in the up coming years, just think of the game posibilities.

Yeah, I've got one.

Ice racing, anyone?

If we went with the jello/pudding game, Bill Cosby could announce nationals. Sounds fun. Does jello conduct electricity?

Maybe hockey, but racing would rock
