WMRI off season Thinking of Lunacy and FIRST Overdrive

If we were to setup 2 playing fields one for the Lunacy and another for FIRST Overdrive for a 2 games in one how many teams would be interestred?

This would take a tremendous amount of work but is teams still have a 2008 bot and a 2009 bot what better way to introduce new students to FIRST. Where you can show them 2 games.

Re: WMRI off season Thinking of Lunacy and FIRST Overdrive

A very fun and different idea, I would like another chance to play the overdrive game, would you have double pits?
I am going to try and get the team to go to this as we are looking to go to an off season event.

Re: WMRI off season Thinking of Lunacy and FIRST Overdrive

That sounds like a fantastic idea to me. It will take A LOT of work and coordination, but would be an incredible sight to see. I think that you should do the newest game (2009) and a slightly older game than 2008, so it gives people who are now alumni volunteers that nostalgic feeling. Plus, some of the older games are way cool to watch.

Good luck, if you are seriously thinking of doing this, partner with teams in your area...your gonna need as much help as you can get.

I'd love to see 2004 played again... of course, i wouldn't be able to make it. but it would make for a wicked webcast event.

Re: WMRI off season Thinking of Lunacy and FIRST Overdrive

If we get enough interest we would consider it, I just wanted to make sure that enough interest existed. We most likely would have to have a 07 -08 game to gather the parts to make the field work.

I serve as a member of the WMRI planning team and ran it past a couple of others, who suggested I post something to see what kind of interest it generated.

Re: WMRI off season Thinking of Lunacy and FIRST Overdrive

The biggest problem would be Volunteers, but i would definitely volunteer, whether we came or not.

2007 I think is the oldest game you could do, with the high number of 3rd year teams in the area, and it is a young enough game that robots may still be around from then.

I completely agree with the game choice, that was my first year in FIRST and I loved that game. It was simple AND fun to watch.

As for volunteers, I do not think it would be a problem. With the HUGE Michigan FIRST community I think if you partnered with the right team(s) it would all go well and would be a fantastic event.

Re: WMRI off season Thinking of Lunacy and FIRST Overdrive

Difficult task to complete and manage, but it would overflow with awesomeness if successfully performed.

I support the idea.

Re: WMRI off season Thinking of Lunacy and FIRST Overdrive

One thing that someone briefly mentioned here is you would have to make sure the pits are larger. Putting 2 competing robots into a single 10'x10' pit doesn't sound like much fun.
