Re: 3,2,1, Liftoff! (DLC Pack 3 Speculation)

A really cool game would be to put game pieces (maybe with different weights?) into a bucket that is connected to a platform on a teeter totter type thing. Robots spend the entire match placing game pieces into the bucket and then drive onto the platform for the 'end game'. At the end of the match, the bucket engages the platform and will raise the platform is there is enough weight in the bucket (or the platform is light enough). A significant bonus (similar to capturing a tower in 2016) will be given based on if the platform raised and how many robots are on the platform.

In terms of design, teams will have to decide to build a really light robot or a heavy robot that scores a lot. During the match, alliances will have to make the decision to have 0, 1, 2 or 3 robots drive on the platform based on how much weight they think they have in the bucket, making the end game extremely exciting to see if they made the right decision.
