Introduction
CyborgFL is a new concept which combines mankind with machines in a physical, on-the-field game. We’re building customized air cannons (offense and attack, I mean defense) and custom footballs for both O and D. We’re developing a complex game that includes use of drones and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for game play. At its core Cyborg Football includes two goals and two command posts. Players are organized into squads.
Concept Creation
Professional football (NFL, college football, etc.) is great, but in 2018 I was watching an NFL game and, I’m sad to say, I got bored. What’s new with pro football? Why is new technology only minimally reflected in professional football games? I can likely answer my own question with the observation that pro football is an American tradition. We shouldn’t change the old pig skin. Roger that, got it. In response to this realization, I started putting thoughts on paper. If I could create a new game, what kind of concepts would I like to see? What types of technology would make the game more interesting not only to watch, but to play.
Technology
The Cyborg Football concept seeks to incorporate modern technology wherever applicable in order to enhance the game. As technology advances, Cyborg Football itself will adapt and modify year over year as we build in new tech. We’re not tied to tradition, we keep it fresh.
Military Angle
I’m a vet. I served 8 years active duty in the Air Force. I also served extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan for Uncle Sam. For many reasons, I wanted to create a game which included wounded warriors. Our game can be played by anyone, but we especially want to have this game, this entire platform, available to our vets.
What We Are Not
We are not a t-shirt company. Sure we sell merchandise like any other company, but that’s not our focus. We are also not a bunch of cyborgs running around a field. Also there are no aliens here, no zombies either.
