That being said, there are only two games in the modern era that have come close to those goals, but I expect them to carry those principles in game design with them in the future just like colored bumpers and 120 pound limits. I can't really predict what will come in 2013, but I expect you'll get a weird game piece that no one has dealt with in FRC before, and it will be offense-driven.

I really hope they do develop games that are easy to relate guests with, but also provide the kids the challenge they want. I truly loved Breakaway. It was a game I could explain to someone in less than a minute and they could completely understand everything. It was also a challenge for the drivers/teams. I also agree it's time for a stacking game! cough underwaterstacking cough.
