Chap 18 - Game Animation.mov

[kingweil]

This is awesome! I want to go to St. Louis to see the competition!!

[tinytiger596]

@tinytiger596 not number, bumper, sorry bout that. The bumper under the hoops. And allowed not at towed

[tinytiger596]

@EnemySnipa18 looking at the rulebook, I don't think it's possible. The number on the bottom is too Lange and the appendage at towed is way too short for even the middle hoops and possibly the bottom (didn't check) your best bet is a shooter.Blood sweat gears team 223 4 life!!!

[A7XRaydog247]

I have a question about inbounders - How many are allowed? 1 per alliance obviously but does that mean there will be 3 human players who are allowed to "inbound" the balls separately, and not just one who does it all? If you could provide a rule number too that would be greatly appreciated

[TheAnimationEmpire]

Thumbs up if you came here from Kinect blog.

[MorichikaRinnosuke17]

So the main scoring seems easy enough to understand... Must mean there's some Newtonian physics involved with the bonus points :)

[WilliamPayneify]

Lets go Team 1708 we can win it this year

[baldriss]

can it be more complicated ? wtf ? this is ridiculous...

[snowmobiler9]

FIRST Team 706

[lukeg6767]

41 all the way!!

[lukeg6767]

FRC, stop copying Nintendo! Theres 10,000 miis in teh stands

[EnemySnipa18]

The big question that I've been asking is the viability of "slam dunks", or dumping the balls right into the hoop for max precision. Does anyone know the dimensions of foam mat in front of the hoops? A protusion 14 inches from the base is allowed; if the mat is small enough, slam dunks could be a real possibility.

[121gigawattsfan53]

@EnemySnipa18 It's possible, but not on the top hoops. The height restrictions wouldn't allow for that.

[sprocketman92004]

@EnemySnipa18 nope the fender dimensions are to long they did this on purpose so the rims could not be damaged.

[22kdavila]

@EnemySnipa18 You should look at the field tours 1-7 it mentions the dementions

[dtechwiz]

Where is Part 8 of the kickoff?

[wowgeeek]

Anyone notice the real people's faces in the crowd at 1:30?

[TeamPyroTech]

@wowgeeek They do that every year. I think they may be people on the game committee.

[wowgeeek]

I used to like building robots, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[initrdgz]

What the heck is up with the related videos? All of them are animes. >_>

[r0gelan]

Team 3522:, go teams!!! Balls

[GamboaGerman]

Team 1604 *cheers*

[Cyberphil103]

Hey! GP everyone! Go all teams!!!!!!!!!

[CullenFan1313]

go team 2643!!!

[Tamloo1]

My only problem is he did not explain anywhere near enough to play. I think FIRST didn't spend as much time this year on the game/rules than previous years.

[tccsoftballchick12]

S.P.A.M. Team 180 will dominate this year!!! HERE WE COME ST. LOUIS!!

[anim8ted923]

Dave L. did a great job on this animation. Funny, good visuals, and it explains the rule very well.

[uniden03229]

Gonna be an interesting robot for us on 1922

[TARDISystem]

This game is freaking AWESOME!

[ryfi99]

Planning on having our robot say "Kobe!" every time a basket is made.

[TheRedBaron586]

What happens when you miss?????

[anim8ted923]

@TheRedBaron586 Zero points. The ball ends up on the carpet so you (or another team) can pick it up & try again.

[Inialator28]

@ryfi99 Our team suggested have kobe hide inside the robot... then shoot for us.

[chrisazarian]

This will be one interesting competition. Red and Blue alliances can choose to work together to balance a bridge at the end.

[ommahida]

robots playing basketball haha. can't wait to make a dunking robot!

[VideosToTheMaximum]

Now I can be considered athletic!

[TheDeceitfulGamer]

Can't wait!



[lovenhate128]

Haha this will be really interesting considering you need to take in account of how accurate your robot can shoot :/

[Speedbob2438]

I can't wait to see that: kinect controlled robot basketball! XD most entertaining "autonomous" period ever! Maybe 1717 won't steamroll everyone now. XD (just kidding penguineers, we all love you guys)

[chrisazarian]

@CullenFan1313 No! Go team 589!

[dellagd]

@Speedbob2438 New Rule: No obscenity or offensive movements duting autonimous mode

[1stslider]

So apparently my basketball career isn't over yet...

[TeamPyroTech]

@1stslider This is basketball of the future. I think the game design committee wanted to see basketball during the lockout.
