Re: [Official 2007 Game Design] OK, so YOU design the 2007 game...

I liked the old competitions with heavy objects and brute force robots (2001 and 2002). How about gathering 16 pound bowling balls and placing them in a goal. The human player could "launch" bowling balls into play through a shoot that could be directed anywhere on the field. Robots would have to be robust enough to withstand a "hit" by a bowling ball and able to pick one up from the floor and into a goal. For the "weaker" bots, volleyballs could be used as well with a huge point difference for the 16 pounders, say 1 point vs 16 pts.
