The center of the field has a difficult to pass obstruction (like 2010) making a pass from the back to the front very rewarding, but not necessary if a robot can cross the obstruction. Another thought was bringing back 2007 ramps to lift robots, possibly an opponent for cooperation, thus assisting them.

Game name either Triple Assist or Risk Assist
This makes sense. The humans are the ones that assist the robot more so than previous years. I like the idea of eliminating the full court shooting possibilities. Yes it was a cool concept but watching a robot shoot full court every time got boring. Having humans interact more with the robot and not making it so they just throw and try to score seems like something the GDC would do.
