Personally, I would like to see a game that gives teams more opportunity to develop automated features on their robot. In the past I have felt that there is very little opportunity for the students interested in computer programming and electrical to become involved. I'm not sure how a game could be constructed that allows for more opportunities of this type, but one example would be to have a more hilly terrain where keeping track of the robot's center of mass and orientation would be extremely important. The past two years we've had a ramp/bridge, but I feel there could be a lot more in the game that would allow CS/electrical people to get involved.
