Stacking is cool though.

Edit: or did you mean just that the players just can't see the field and have to use video to do so?
That might actually be pretty cool. Navigation purely by using the RGBd data from the Kinect. I just can't see it actually happening... yet. My guess would be that the Kinect would be more integral to the hybrid mode... either it will be required or worth enough extra points to make it worthwhile.

Regardless of what type of game they go for, I think it's going to be more fast-paced and spectator-friendly. I think the bridges were one of the best endgames we've seen so far... not necessarily difficult but still dramatic because of the occasional 3-robot balance, and yes, flipping robots
