Hula hoops could definitely present an interesting challenge. We invented a VEX game with foam rings and tall posts and teams got extra points for having the top ring on the post. It was probably my favorite game we have used for our VEX classes because it always kept the action moving around since teams were incentivized to score on a different post each time. Hula hoops would be an easy way to do something similar for larger FRC bots.

I also think the cylinder idea would be awesome. The GDC likely takes into account transportability, so I could see them using something like that but maybe more like a cone. They would stack for easy transportation and field reset and they would add the extra challenge of not rolling straight.
