Maybe a capture the flag style game, where the robot must collect a marker from the opposing alliance's side of the field and return it to their side of the field.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
 

that would actually be pretty cool! lots of action, but they would have to be possibly more strict with the rules than for the Breakway game due to the bot-on-bot contact with defense/offense. Still an awesome concept though :D

I'm calling either "Mars" related, and/or green technology to be incorporated into the kits...somehow

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
 

Many of us had to put up with Mars in our younger FLL days, please lets not re-visit those memories.

Capture the Flag would be cool, here's my thought if we were to go there. In the center of the feild there could be a maze where the walls would be high enough you can't see over. Therefore having to use your Camera feed to get through. :D

How about motocross racing relays? The bots would have to pass a baton and race around a 3 dimensional course. The obstacles could be a hill climb, bumps, salmon pegs, straight away drag.

It's an interesting idea, but there would have to no autonomous due to that its a race, and only 2 robots are moving at once. The matches would be longer, and since your idea is close to the racing view of Overdrive, I doubt we see it next year, but maybe in the future.

One of my guesses is that this year it will not be a sphere game piece. Even years tend to have balls while odd years don't (the orbit balls weren't perfect spheres)

footballs, its finally gonna be the year they use footballs

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
 

That WOULD be interesting. The VEX Robotics Competition game in 2009-10 used footballs as the primary game object. Clean Sweep was a fun game but -- you can trust me on this -- footballs are evil.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
 

And so is the GDC. I vote for footballs!

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
 

hmm... Footballs would be cool... I could create a 2 axis throwing arm like the PING man.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
 

There are two ways of looking at whether they will use spheres again. 2008, 2009, and 2010 had spheres as game pieces, so it is likely that the GDC will try to avert from using spheres as game pieces. I would not be suprised, however, if the game does have spheres as game pieces next year; spheres are extremely easy to work with. That's just my P.O.V.

I want Frisbees, they are fun, but I don't like the kind that are flat of have holes in the middle, they are unstable (usually)

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?
 

Well I am thinking in news and sports for my information. Last year was the lunar landing anniversary. This year is the World Cup. Next year there is nothing that sticks out to me yet. Although, if we are looking for answers I am pretty sure we should check them first or second.
