Saturday the new game for the 2009 build season was announced. "Lunacy" is unique in that it's played on a special plastic surface, with special wheels, that lead to 1/6 the friction of a normal surface. As the name of the game suggests, this is to simulate driving on the moon. Game details can be found on the video below, or if that doesn't work here.
The team is busy brainstorming and developing ideas for this new game. With the game this year being especially unique, new ideas and strategies will have to be implemented. While the process is highly secretive at this point, we are very optimistic that our plans and designs will lead to the creation of an excellent robot. The slippery surface and the hauling of 45-pound trailers present many problems to be overcome.
Only 42 days until the build season is over!
