I think it would be cool to have a football game where throwing and catching gained extra points but interception was not allowed, like 2014, and the farther the two robots were from each other, the greater the bonus, how this would be measured I am not sure but maybe have several lines in the field, aka yard lines. There would be a rule that would prohibit using wheels to shoot the football, making the shooter design far more interesting. The footballs, with this rule, would be full size foam because my team and I'm sure others have shot many of those little footballs, with relative accuracy, out of our t-shirt shooter. Some of the balls would start on the field while others would start in the human player station. A hole would be provided for the balls to be entered through and human players could only attempt to score during autonomous. The final "goal" for the balls would be like a field goal, between two uprights. The field goal would also provide the end game. Robots could not touch the single pole that supported the two sides. Simply hanging from the cross member would score, say ten points, while managing to climb the sides would score more depending on the final distance from the floor to the robot. And to make this a little harder, robots could only touch two "zones" at a time, meaning that they could not reach from the floor to the side pole, they must hang from the cross member first. Despite some comments on this thread, I think that american football could be adjusted to a robot game. I would love to see the return of the endgame and robot to robot interference and cooperation. While this is a cool idea we must keep in mind that next year is an important year for FIRST. It is the end of the single champs era and it is their 25th year. They are sure to do a FIRST themed game similar to what they did back in 2011.
