Revision as of 01:02, 27 September 2011

Team 1640 kicked off its fall design training with an mock FRC kickoff on Saturday, 17 September from 10AM-5PM. We reintroduced the 2003 game, Stack Attack for this exercise. For the Kick-off, we:

  • Played the Video
  • Read the rules
  • Simulated the game using StudentBots on a full-scale field - several iterations as appreciation of strategic options were developed.
  • Set up a 1/7th-scale mock-up field table, with scale crates and robots - using this as a further game-play test-bed allowing quick simulation for testing what-if scenarios.
  • Brainstormed game-play ideas (the WHATS, not the HOWS)
  • Presented and shared ideas - tested them and synthesized new ideas and approaches.
  • Eventually came to a tentative game strategy consensus.
