Well, after reading this entire thread after getting home from vacation, i have my own conclusions.
(the numbers with decimals are a result of my laziness to replace all the ones after it)
#1. I think 5 robots is unlikley, but still possible
#1.5. I think the 5 prime idea was great. I am all for 3v3 again.
#2. Footballs seem likley. However, so do batons. pvc with footballs on the ends?
#2.5. I think there will be a raised, center object. A pentagon shaped object, that has ramps coming off of each side. 5 spaces for robots, one team does not have a chance for extra points at the end. Maybe a goal in the middle, but maybe not.
#3. The fully listed-out game a few posts ago seems possible enough, but do you wanna set up up to 80 footballs on every two minutes? 5 or 10 green footballs seems mor likley. (like vision tetras?)
#4. I think "oro y plata" means "gold and silver" in spanish. (correct me if im wrong). Maybe there will be a few gold + silver objects worth Über points
#5. Thinking back, is Montana too far north to have significant spanish speaking segment of population? maybe its french.
