How fun...
I am new to FIRST this year, so I have NO idea what was going on in the last several years... but, here is what I would like to see someday...

- More computer control (few seconds at the beginning or END of the match with no human control.) Software code is cheap, even small teams can afford to write code.

- Use different objects - some teams are WAY ahead in figuring out how to play with a ball. (I know, my team didn't even try to pick up balls this year.)

- tug 'o' war is boring

- fast paced, fast motion is fun to watch

OK... so here is my game:

-rectangle field
-2 teams at each end (working together)
-wall several feet tall, but with a gap under it. (Think low vollyball net)
-balls (or whatever items you wish) in devices along the side of the field that can be emptied into the field (pull a rope, reach in a grab, open a door, hit a button, use your imagination)
-goal of game is to chuck and fling and push as many balls (or other items) onto the other teams side. Kinda like a twisted vollyball / dodgeball match. You can toss over the wall, or under the wall. Teams can lower shields to prevent balls being pushed under. Balls can be tossed over the wall (plexiglass wall would be cool).

No rules about what side of the wall your bot has to stay on. (collect balls in a storage bag and cross to the other side?) Rookie teams could still push balls under, and make shields. Older teams could access more balls high up in the air, and chuck balls over the wall quickly.

OK, I'm done.... I got long winded AGAIN...
