I like the idea in 2000 of different colored balls for different points, a simple robot could go after just the one ball that is worth much more than say 10 of the regular color, then if you wanted a super harvester you can get all of the regular kind. I have to believe the field will stay flat and carpeted, the same size just because of the investment. I doubt any gym would want any other surface as well as the build areas that many school and buisness use to make the field. I can bet on kee-clamp bars somewhere on the field, I would like a kind of mountain (maybe 2 or 3 ft high) in between with some different angles maybe this is the plywood part without carpeting so your traction is different on different areas of the field. Maybe even some sort of blocking devices that the first robot to them can flip up a block for the other side and force them to take another route across the field. Definately no time multipliers and figure out a way for the 3x loser score to also have some effect on the finals, otherwise next year shouldn't we all build final bots? I thought hanging on the bar was really cool. Whatever the scoring device is, don't make it designed for tug of wars.
