Team 8: Remote Controlled Apocalyptic Crossbow
\nMembers: Alexander Schmidberger, Jaesik Hahn, Matthew Miller, Neil Nevgi
\nThe Remote Controlled Apocalyptic Crossbow comprises of a miniature crossbow mounted on a remote controlled platform. The wheels on the platform control its movement in the forward and backward direction and can rotate its orientation. The user controls the platform remotely by a PlayStation 3 controller. The user can also increase or decrease the angle of elevation of the crossbow. A projectile is propelled from the crossbow upon firing the release mechanism. In order to reload, the user would need to manually push the projectile back into the crossbow until the bow string clicks back into the firing mechanism pin. The intended play value dictates that the toy be used in a post-apocalyptic style turn based game. Two or more players would be required to build constructions using \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153Jenga\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 shaped wooden blocks in such a manner as to protect a \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153King\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 block. The game would be the players to take turns in firing projectiles at the opponent\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s construction. The game ends when all but one \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153King\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 block is toppled and the player whose \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153King\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 block stands is declared the winner. The game would not only require the players to aim well but also strategize by taking particular notice of the physics of construction.<\/p>\n
