I think there was something to get hung up on; the goal. We actually had our robot shoved inside of the goal one match and we couldn't get back out again.
There would need to be some kind of field elements out there though; the simple robotic hockey concept doesn't even have ramps against the sides. That would be interesting with large movable bumpers, and teams could as a strategy stuff them in front of their own goal to prevent their opponents from scoring.
I want to see the ice bot!
