Can Pushback be put into a real video game and have it's own thing?
Yeah, I know this is a bit of a reach, but the strategy involved and chess game / various types of bots that can all compete. I'd love to play a rocket league quality game for this. And you could probably change the rules enough so people would need to rebuild robots.
Also note the $75 million Esports World Cup prize pool. Again a big stretch, but imagine if rocket league had a robotics like vex. There would be a little more money coming in and a lot more interest as other kids know the game and non-competitors might possibly go to the game instead of the highschool football (10 years). Again I'm reaching and I'm just using rocket league as an analogy, it wouldn't make a good robotics game. But Pushback would be a great online game (not those current simulators) and maybe even be combined in the Esports World Cup. And those top teams really should get prize money as it's super impressive, although the cheating would skyrocket
