This year, I think I will be saying that our robot plays hockey. The twist might be that it uses a large (3' diameter?) ball instead of a puck. We will need to cooperate and pass frequently in order to score maximum points.

It will continue to follow the trend of making the game sports-based and spectator-friendly. Scoring will be simple and easy to keep track of for most spectators (not predicting that the score-tracking devices will always work, though).

That's my prediction.
You were off by a foot on the ball diameter.

Otherwise you nailed it. WOW!
