What Would Make A Good Competition?

Why only 10,000?

Because ONE BILLION would be too many…

Oh, we could handle a billion in Virginia. I guess you guys in Washington just aren’t as advanced.

I remember a robot game from somewhere (Maybe FLL? Doesn’t seem right.) that had a stateful object some years ago where you had to turn the pointer toward one half of the field or the other. I don’t remember much about it, but I believe you couldn’t score certain other objects if it was pointed the wrong way. So it was offensive and defensive, since how you turned it locked out the other sides ability to score.

Or I could just be wrong. Never the less, it’s an easy way to implement stateful play in a meaningful way.

this is the game you want

Well because it’s over 9000?

I’m still pulling for a game in which 10,000 ping pong balls are dropped on the field at the start of autonomous. Field reset would be with a shop vac with the filter removed cycling the balls back into a hopper. I don’t care how they are scored – I want to see a game with a zillion* small objects.

• The metric equivalent of a “zillion” is “bazillion.”

Take it a step farther. Have the goals feed straight back to deployment and digital counters for points. Always have 10000 objects available.
