I've been hearing people say "a stacking game" for 6 months now, and I agree, that does seem to make sense... but I also think it's a little too obvious to have a game centered around stacking game pieces.

Given the recent patterns, any sports-related games/game pieces are out (so footballs and frisbees, both of which would be pretty awesome) for this year. I also think tubes are out... we've seen them twice in the past 6 years, it'll take another year or two before we see them again.

I would like to see them do something with a wall in the middle of the field - there's a portion of the field that your drivers can't see directly, where you can score points. This could be assisted with the camera and/or with the human player, who could gesture from across the field where that area is visible.
