Re: 2015 Game

I would like to see the game piece be a tube. Not an inflated inner tube, but a piece of hollow tubing. For example, a 6" diameter x 18" long piece of PVC pipe or some such thing. Length, diameter, weight, surface texture, material could be almost anything. Perhaps different tubes for different tasks and scores.

The objective should include pickup and placement. I don't really care what they have us do with them. It would be an interesting challenge to see how teams picked the game piece up and manipulated its orientation placement.

I have seen enough spheres and toroids for a while.
