What about a version of simon says...autonomous would be crazy. a specific set of lights go and the robot has to take a certain position, move an arm, etc.

My favorite idea for a game:
Two separate sides, autonomous I haven't figured out, but during teleop a big black curtain comes up between the two sides of the field; your alliance has to stack boxes really tall on your own side; then, during the last 30 seconds the curtains come down and balls are put onto the field by your human player through some form of shoot that passively puts them on the field. your robot collects them and has to throw them at the opponents stacks of boxes, your robot cannot reach over to the other side of the field; also some other thing to do during the last 30 seconds so a good alliance will have someone else doing the third thing such as hanging on a high bar, flipping over, whatever. Two robots doing something with the third throwing balls to eliminate the other alliances score. There is not going to be a lot of robot robot hard smashing contact, but it would be kind-of cool to have the element of surprise once the curtain falls. Your team gets points for how high the boxes are stacked maybe exponentially or doubled. Depends upon the number of boxes available. Stacked boxes are a minimum of one box on top of another, hence stacked.

Oh yeah, during the last 5 seconds you can shoot the firehose at the other boxes...hence the water game.
