Re: Outside the Box Ideas for Off Season Events

Brain dump:

Limit of 3 battery swaps in eliminations (better conserve that juice!)

Matches where driver's are blind-folded and their drive coach has to tell them what to do.

Matches where alliance partners have to drive each others' robots.

Bonus points (30? 40?) for having all alliance robots in their offensive zone at the end of a match (force a decision of playing defense, or not, in the last 10s).

Sub-on-the-fly: one robot on each alliance must remain in the "bench" area at all times, but this robot can swap with any other robot on their alliance during a match, putting that other robot in the "bench" area. Perhaps works best with 4 robots on each alliance.

Yankee Swap: all teams bring in present of modest value ($50, say), all the items get put into a pile and randomly distributed to other teams.

Just some ideas...
