I did a bit of reading on some of the older games...personally, I'd love to see a return to an inch and a half of corn for a field.

But more realistically for FIRST purposes, I'd like to see a few things. Like a really challenging field for drivers. Who knows? We might even see a suspension on a FIRST robot!

And I agree that it'd be pimp to do something besides balls. Perhaps some kind of capture the flag element? Or even cooler, make it so that some parts of the field are impossible to see from the driver's station. Make the human player into a HP/spotter where they can see, and you've added yet another level to the game.

Or, if balls must remain an option, I think you'd see some good action if they were really small balls...like tennis balls or smaller. Get a ton of 'em on a FIRST Frenzy-sized field, and you've got a lot of action. (You've also got field reset's worst nightmare, but that's another story.)

And there's always pink lawn flamingos...
