I totally agree with this. Last year, my team started developing this very thing - we call it WAPUR, for Washtenaw (county) Pickup Robotics. The goal was to design a game that could be played as a pickup - the field fits in the back of a trunk and is quickly set up, and the robots are smaller than FRC. For our build season, we used rules inspired by OCCRA - no precision machining and limited mentor help. Last year, we used it as a fun fall training exercise, but this year we're looking to expand to more teams in our area. We'd be happy to give the game information or answer questions to anyone who's interested.
