A center structure with “spiders” and inner-tubes???
OMG it’s like a reminiscence of the 98(?) game!!! OMG
Robot weight & height CHOICES?
100lbs = 6’ limit
110lbs = 5’ limit
120lbs = 4’ limit
AWESOME
1997
Holy.
Cow.
This is going to be intense.
1997, Toroid Terror
What’s with them shaking the structure at the beginning?
Oh god or god…
This is Going to be CRAZY
Lets keep this thread for game reaction and such, rules and everything can be discussed in the Rules forum when they are out. Thanks!
Yea, I couldn’t remember what year exactly, I was a little too jumpy trying to get the thread posted. I knew it was either 97 or 98.
anyone have videos of toroid terror?
It kinda looks like toroid terror, but with some modifications, attached is a pic of the structure in '97.
I wish I was on a team this year, it looks a fantastic challange.
WOW.
Camera is crucial.
as well as the coach.
Good Luck to All!
I myself am still trying to figure out the robot off the ground thing. i didn’t see a bar at the end zones…
this is like giant tictactoe
wow we’re going to see a LOT of interesting designs…It’ll be awesome to watch/compete 
Good Luck =)
Drive on top of another robot…
Ack! I can see visibility being a pretty big issue in this.
Also once you get the tube on you essentially own the spot so holding multiple tubes may be crucial
Bring it on!
haha well i guess that makes sense.
This is a very interesting game…It will be very neat to see what other people’s designs are for handling the tubes…The only problems I see is how we get the robots elevated and how do we handle the tubes…anyway I think this year will be very challenging. The “Rack” scares me a little… scary to think how we will get tubes on it. I like the yellowcard penalty. Gives teams a reason to be careful throughout all the matches. instead of just getting a rough penalty 1 match losing a few points then doing it again for other matches you get 2 chances. Scoring reminds me a lot of Tic-Tac-Toe. The spoilers are going to pose a big threat to players. Keepers will be fun to place providing teams get their cameras working. I hope all of the teams in this year’s competition have fun and come up with awesome ideas! :3
