I found that to be interesting.

That would be a terribly boring endgame. The 7 elementary/middle school kids I had at DC were excited because the minibots were FAST. I don't think I'd like to watch a "last place wins" race, ever.

Depending on the difficulty you're aiming for, the random zone could be told to teams at the start of the match, told to the robot through the fms, or indicated on the pole via lights, an electromagnet placed inside the pipe, or something else.

I love this idea.
Any offseason events thinking about going to a flat rate for the minibot race?
