Bunny Bots and Ball Bot both look really good! They remind me more of the OCCRA (Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association) games than what we've done. Your games are much more like FRC than the game we have.
The pick-up rules we have are designed to be played every year without any changes. The matches are competitive, so alliances have to play each other, not just play to the rules. We also have flexible robot numbers and unlimited human players so everyone can stay busy. The wide open field sort of required lots of human players to catch loose balls.
