Oh oh, let me try!
Question #1: What is the object? (i.e. Balls, Bins, Tubes, Floppies...)
Balls, but probably something we havent used, like balls 1/2 way filled with water, or sand, or just weighted (I know water-filled balls have been used, I think)
Question #2: What is the goal? (i.e. Large moving tower, puck, goal post...)
A Large Central Column. There are 2-4 (I haven't made up my mind yet
) " deposits" or slots for balls to go in, and there are triggers around the field which drop out the floor of a deposit, making all the balls fall to the bottom level of the column. Balls in the top are multipliers, balls in the bottom are your base. There are openings on 2 sides of the base but they are only so high, so it's tricky to try and get your single points out to attempt to multiply them.
Question #3: What is the special playing field surface trait? (i.e. Ramp, Water, Corn...)
Mainly, the column. The sides are made from a more spread-out mesh, that is strong, so bots can
climb on it. Also, on the 2 sides around the column, there are 2 small "speedbump" type ramps.
Question #4: What will be the most controversial rule?
Hmm. I think that being allowed to block switches that dump the deposits and blocking the top of deposits would get controversial.
Oh and the game's called "Column Crisis"
