The Weekette
Remote Control/Artificial Intelligence/Robotics

Theme Name

Describe the Theme
The idea is to have activities and meals where there is some element of programmed or remote control in the event. The thing being controlled could be a person, machine, or robot.

Why would this be fun?
We've had good luck with some remote control type events in the past and I think we could do it again. Robots and AI are also interesting and we probably have the right resources to make it happen.

What are some likely activities?
Remote Control -- which we've done before. Do as I say - one part of the team WRITES instructions and the other part of the team has to follow them to the best of their ability (this could really be an activity or a meal). Visualization - similar to remote control except the team is looking for something and only the other part of their team knows what it is Could also be more like a scavenger hunt where you can't say the items but have to describe them or give clues. Programming - could do something with programing a robot (real or virtual) through a maze. Program Jeopardy - given the inputs and outputs you have to create the code using a collection of pseud-code commands probably from cards. Simon Says - could be done either directly or remotely.

What are some likely meals and/or meal themes?
Many of the activities could also be used as meals too -- so you have to use tools to cook/create food remotely. This practically demands the automated breakfast.

Anything else we should know?
Maybe a maze or obstacle course where you have to have someone else direct you -- like you're blindfolded maybe.
