I would love to see a 2003/2004 finish, it would always be exciting.

To me, there are two ways to score in each Game in FIRST

2003 Stack Attack

Fixed: Ramp
Variable: oxes

2004 Raising the Bar

Fixed: Bar
Variable: Balls

2005 Triple Play

Fixed: Bonus at the end/bottom scoring
Variable: Scoring on Top w/Tetras

2006: Aim High

Fixed Ramp
Variable: Balls, wherever they went

2007: Rack N' Roll

Fixed: Ramps
Variables: Tubes

maybe first needs to figure out the perfect ratio of points to award for the fixed and variable methids of scoring: and looking at this: the more effective way to score was using the variables, BUT... when the fixed involved getting something that the other team couldn't match: the fixed was goign to be the winner.

Rack N' Roll got going in the right track for this ratio thing, but i think if you let the robots intreact, say, only one team can get the ramp bonus, then the game wold have been MUCH more exciting

assuming the other team got one robot 12 inches off the ground, you would either have to match that or beat that to get a certin amount of points... and if you didn't they would get a certin amount of points

Example Team A has 1 robot 3 inches off ground while team B has one robot 12 inches off ground, Team B gets 15 point bonus while Team A gets Nothing, etc.
