How about this for next year's game:

The object of the game is to have the robots play a friendly game of soccer. The field will be setup like a soccer field except the goal can be the old ball chutes on the bottom of the alliance stations that were used in former years. There is a zone around them that the robots can not drive in, perhaps closed off by 2x4 pieces of wood. The soccer balls are lined up in the middle. The robots start on opposite sides like this year, and it is still 2 v 2 . When the game is started, the object is to get balls into the ball chute. That is pretty much it.

Despite it's simplicity, this game has a lot of benefits. You can have teams that try to play offense or defense. Since most people have seen soccer, it would be very easy to understand from a spectator viewpoint. You could even have a realtime scoring system which counts the balls as they go into the ball chute to the goal.So-- what do you think?
