Ideas
I'd like to see obstacles/barriers strategically placed on the field that cause a robot to become disabled for a period of time if they cross/touch them. The most attractive scoring zones could be guarded/blockaded by these to make it more challenging to get to those scoring zones.
Perhaps the alliance partner of the disabled robot could shorten the duration of the disable by doing some task that re-enables their teammate.
I would also like to see a contest that requires the robots to shoot projectiles at targets and/or at their opponents for points. I know safety is a concern but maybe you could get Nerf to sponsor a contest and use foam projectiles.
You could even force teams to put goals or receptacles of some type on their robots. If my opponent's projectile ends up in my robot's goal, then I am penalized with a points deduction. If my alliance partner's projectile ends up in my robot's goal, then there is a bonus/multiplier.
