It takes alot out of the design process when you already have models of what works. 2010 was great for this, no one had ever built a kicker or ball magnet before. On the opposite side of the spectrum in 2011 most robots were heavily inspired by what worked in 2007.

I agree. I haven't been in FRC too long, but from my experience, Breakaway was my favorite game. Not only was it easy to understand for everyone, but it was original. I don't like Logomotion as much because it heavily resembled 2007, and I just knew that teams would use ideas from previous robots.
That's why I'm hoping for a sports theme that has
NOT been used before, ie. Football, Baseball?, Hockey, etc.
