Aerial Assist played entirely on rough terrain?

#62

You mean… like the 2016 defense of that name?

Field reset = easy (if you don’t trip).
Field setup/teardown = nightmare!

#63

Now that would be interesting. You think wheel slippage is bad now, try autonomous on that for some fun!

#64

Why bother with rough terrain? Aerial Assist played on Regolith!

#65

I think aerial assist but with a ~1 foot tall wall on the center line would be interesting.

Please don’t. Inevitably we will try to build something to cross it and no one wants that… particularly the NC field volunteers.

Well, the 2016 rules did award points for DAMAGING the DEFENSES. Leave it to teams to read that literally.

I like how he photoshopped a tub of ice cream next to a spider “for scale”.

Weight/Size changes?

Interesting bit from the linked article:

For instance, if weight-loss or healthy eating is your goal, try moving unhealthy foods to a top shelf out of reach, or to the back of the freezer instead of in front.

Ice cream is pretty unhealthy.

Seems more like MS Paint to me. Either way I love that Frank knows his audience so well that his choice size comparison was a tub of Ben and Jerry’s.

Could have been worse.

Wait, the flavor is Phish Food? Phishing game confirmed?

#72

So the robots must pretend to be from reputable companies whilst emailing out fraudulent links? That would certainly qualify as a surprise.

Or you know… they can pretend to be Nigerian Princes. :rolleyes:
