To copy designs and incorporate them into modular robots? Again, I may not get it.
I do enjoy ideas of different end games, so keep them coming! I hope they do introduce one, despite my negative points xD

I think we can all agree that last years endgame did not go as first planned. During the opening Kamen talks a lot about failure, and about how FRC is meant to be a place where we can experience healthy failure, and learn from it. What happened in 2013 was not failure, it could not fail for most teams as they did not even attempt more then one rung. Why not allow a second chance?
As regards to another possible endgame, our team discussed the idea of the return of the minibot, much like you mention. A member had the idea of teams needing to lift and attach a small robot to the beam. This small robot would have to detach and lodge itself, hanging off the beam. This would fulfill both the Ariel and Assist parts of the challenge.
