What if the bottom of each box wasn't flat? A nice concave down surface would be really hard to hold your ground in a pushing battle.

Start on the floor, though--oh, and you're starting on your opponent's end of the field, with screens in place to make vision spotty at best.

Oh, and I forgot about the water. At 30 seconds left in the match, the field gets about 1-2 inches of water, making it harder to get back to the bonus point area on your end. (Why only that much? It's a lot easier to waterproof 2-3 inches of field than the whole thing.)

Alright! Now that's more like it! Though my let them see at all? I save put the drivers in a black current square (no top) next to the game field and their only means of seeing are the cameras on board the robots and a HP for each team on the alliance, only able to communicate using a microphone and smoke signals. (Fog machines of separate color smoke will be available upon request. :D )

From a spectator viewpoint having robots climb sheer walls only to engage in a little KOTH is exciting. Fine, you can have bumpers on the ground around the Board so nothing gets completely trashed but they can't be level, make teams really work to get up into the boxes.

Is that almost GDC evil?

For the whole idea? No, not yet.

But the "Pretty Pretty Princess Bots" concept? Absolutely brilliant. Definitely keeping that one in the "we gotta do this" file.

A local VEX team, the "Pink Sparkle Fairy Unicorns" did great last season, placing fourth, if I recall in the programming challenge in Dallas. This year I almost... almost.... made a "My Little Pony" sticker the offical tech inspection sticker at the Gladstone tournament in their honour.

Rather than tic-tac-toe, consider the game "Connect 5".

There used to be an FLL team--mostly boys--that was known as "The Pretty Pink Princesses of DOOM!" They didn't do too badly the last time I saw them compete.

i really like the Connect 5 idea.... great strategy options...
Large flat disks to manipulate... perhaps even a kind of 3-d connect five...or perhaps two connect five apparatus on each side of the field...

interesting idea...
