New FRC game ideas!

Our team was filling out the survey for Blue Devil Press (a collaboration of 2512 and 2220 for the Duluth Regionals). We came across a question asking what we would think would be the ideal game for the 2015 games. We just bagged up our 2014 creation so we thought it would be a good time to think about next year.

Here are some of the ideas that we have come up with:

• Crazy Eights
• The track would be in the shape of a figure 8. Robots could pick up a giant 8 sided dice and drive around the figure 8 to achieve points. 
• Think about Overdrive but with lots of crashing in the middle. Plus, the 8 sided shapes would be interesting to pick up and carry. 

• Monkey Business
• Robots climb a tree-like structure to collect a banana at the top of a tree. 
• Think 2007 center contraption but tree shaped and with bananas on the top... Ok, it's totally different from 2007.
• Drive teams would have to eat bananas for bonus points.

• HexBug Roundup
• Robots herd giant Hex-bugs into pens. 
• The vibrating bugs would make it tough to herd them in the direction you wanted. 
• Plus, GIANT HEX BUGS!!!!

• Jenga
• Robots spend the match pulling out blocks and stacking them on the top of the tower.
• Precision would be key here.
