The only problem I see with increasing the match time drastically (i.e. to five minutes) is battery power...
And I really like the idea of having the robot out of view in a particular section with the human player spotter... I doubt it'll ever happen, but I like the uniqueness of it.
Maybe we'll have the robots pick up random, unmarked CD's, pop them in a stereo, and see if they find YMCA.
Not too keen on the idea of disabling opponent's robots though... but again, an interesting idea.
I'd like to see some sort of thing, where you get points for accomplishing a task. Whereas all the games I've been a part of where the score is based on the final configuration of the field, maybe if your bot does something in autonmous mode... or does whatever task, you GET 20 points or something.
EDIT:
I just realized that there were two more pages of posts in here when I replied (thought there was just one) so sorry if I went and said something that the lot of you already discussed in great detail
