ANY-TERRAIN RACING
HOVER POLO
GAMES
Utilizing magnetic levitation technology to create an airborne playing field, three teams of eight compete against one another using responsive mag-lev saddle-boards, smart mallets, and a reactive orb. The objective is to score a winning number of goals within the 60-minute match, consisting of two 30-minute halves. However, given the twist of three teams competing, this game requires strategic thought and play-action beyond the typical team defense/offense, it requires cross-team alliances that could be made and broken moment to moment.
The Saddle-board: Purpose-built using Responsive Reconfiguration Technology, the saddle-board allows riders the option of sitting astride, as one would in a terrestrial polo match featuring horses and riders, or to be in a standing position similar to surfing.
The Orb: A responsive orb takes the place of a traditional polo ball. It is programmed to remain within the mag-lev field boundaries, and to provide a visual response when struck out of bounds or into a goal. The orb’s reactive indicators improve speed and accuracy in referee decision-making, as well as play action, and heightens the viewer’s enjoyment and follow-ability of the match.
The Smart Mallet: Carried by players to strike the orb, these are programmed to recognize only the orb as a strike target and will not permit strike action towards any other player or object. The smart mallets are responsive to the mag-lev playing field and, if dropped, will remain suspended in place until retrieved by a player or match official.
The Field of Play: While the mag-lev system does allow for an all-direction field of play, the forum is capped at 20 FT high by 20 FT wide, and usually forms a complete circle around a building to offer 360-degree viewing opportunities.
The Any-Terrain race blends elements of the off-road, cross country experience of Tough Mudder-style courses and the urban cross-country sport of parkour with traditional track racing. Using Responsive Reconfiguration Technology to create a custom track, the course evolves and morphs at random throughout the 800-meter race distance. In addition, Any-Terrain tracks never offer racers the same course twice thanks to an intuitive randomization program inherent to every Any-Terrain track.
Any-Terrain racers may meet any combination of steep and rolling hills, broad and narrow gullies, mogul-style humps and dips, and alternating cambers, as well as vertical cliff faces to be climbed and / or dismounted. As with traditional track, parkour, and off-road cross-country racing, aside from the latest advances in apparel and footwear, competitors’ only tools are their stamina and reflexes.
