That should be our "prime directive" for all future games. - to make the game media-friendly (or... again... for you old-timers, our "prive" directive)

my idea i came up with was
2 v 1 setup
PLAYING FIELD
rectangular field
at one end are the blue bots (with blue drivers stations behind them)
red bot at other end (with the red driver station behind them)
on red side is something similar to a soccer goal (imagin a 3ft tall box with the side facing the blue end open) spanning the width of the field. On top is a another goal, but shorter in width. There would be a line 10ft from the edge of the goal. Blue bots may not drive beyond (so they may have arms that extend into the red zone)
IN the blue zone are a bunch of frisbees, yes, frisbees. The blue bots basically have to get the firsbees in the goals. They must either do this by launching them or using a long arm, as ble bot cant touch the field floor beyond that line.
scoring
BLUE ALLIANCE
2 points for each frisbee in the lower red goal
4 points for each one in the top one
10 points for each robot positioned wholy within the starting square they started in
(HP frisbees in goals are worth an extra point each)
RED TEAM
3 ponts for each frisbee not in one of their goals
15 points for having their robot wholy within its starting square
(HP firsbees not in goal are worth an extra point each)
PROS: modularity is a key aspect, as you have to b ale to do both offense and defense positions.
SPECTATOR FRIENDLY: like 1 sided soccer, but with frisbees
HUMAN PLAYERS: they would only be on the blue alliance located in postions next to the blue driver stations. HPs would try to get the firsbees the start with in the goals
only thing i cant think of is incorpertating autonomy. Perhaps it would be used at the end of the match. AT the switch to auto mode robots would not be allowed in their start zones and the auto program would have to get them back. Thats all i could think of
i'll load a field drawing soon
