In America, out arenas aren't OOTA'ble so people who are balsy enough to go for a flipper design go all out. Take Ziggy for example.

Toro style throws upwards, Iron Awe throws bots farther away to get them over guardrails and stuff.Technically speaking though, would it be more efficient to have a arm go vertically up with little change, than a huge sheet that travels in a more circular motion. You'd have more force, speed, and less drag. 524

Probably for more dedicated surface area to the robot itself and protecting the internals. 526

I was just demonstrating the fact that the Kinect has more uses and power compared to its competitors.Yes it is, they hacked it to do that. If you search youtube you can see so many developers interpreting the Kinect in so many different ways. Microsoft may not officially do what more ambitious developers are doing with it, but they can sure learn from them. 527

The Wii System is to blame. I think they KNEW developers were going to be hindered by the motion sensing controls. They screwed up. They need to add OPTIONS for regular controls and motion sensing. Another thing to blame is lack of good hardware. We are in the Twenty First Century... everyone is using accelerometers, gyroscopes, and bluetooth fore controls (Even before the iPhone 4) and they went with INFRARED, if you look at a EM Radiation scale you will see that Infrared is a long wave... those are the EASIEST to block. That is why TV's are so devastatingly bad. Infrared Sensors are pushing twenty years old. The OG Wii should have been what the Wii U is sans the peripherals. Then on the side add in Motion Sensing gaming and Tablet Gaming. The real losers here are the developers.

Halo 4: Hope it's fun, wished Bungie was on board though
Call Of Duty: Wii U: Has Potential, Seems like Nintendo is playing catch-up with competitors. (They should have made the controller an expansion to the OG Wii/ Wii should have had the better GPU and HD graphics and processing power) PS Vita: THIS is what real gaming is all about Kinect: Two Words... OPEN SOURCE... another two words... DEVELOPER KIT iOS5 (WWDC): Copies almost every single competitor to Apple Frogger 3D: This I Want... 539
