I think its safe to say in the near future we will not see a water game.

And besides that, can you imagine how much the field would cost!?! That alone would discourage such a game.
Now I've only been in FIRST for three years now and so far 2002 and 2004 have been my favorite years. Stack Attack was interesting but in the end it seemed to be too concerned with seeing who could hit stuff the hardest. Balls are fun beause they are so versatile; nearly any sort of game can be designed around them. In that sense I'm kinda partial to balls. But what I would like to see are some serious steps and perhaps autonomous at the end of the game instead of the beginning.
