Okay, here is my shot at a game design. No idea yet what it would be called.

Duration
20 sec. autonomous
120 sec. teleop

Pieces
12" diameter balls of 4 colors -red, white, blue, and green
There are - 28 green balls, 28 red balls, 28 white balls, and 28 blue balls.

In addition, there is 1 (one) 40" diameter ball that is black.

Field
Field is 27' wide by 54' long. A 10' long area extending from the driver stations is dedicated as the alliance's "home zone"; opposing robots CAN enter this zone. In the middle "no man's land", there are four pez-dispenser-like towers. Every five seconds during the match, a ball is rolled onto the field from each of the towers. The balls that each of the towers contains is randomized prior to the match.

There are two goals on either end of the field, they are colored to belong to the alliance that starts on that side. One is a high trough that is placed 7' off of the ground. The other is placed 3' off the ground, but can be raised up to 5' by one of the robots staying on a pressure sensitive pad that is against their alliance wall. The goal will fall back to its 3' rest state if a robot does not stay on the pad. The pad is a ramp inclinced at a small angle so that balls cannot rest on it. The scoring troughs separate the alliance zones from the no man's land.

The 40" ball starts in the middle of the field on top of a 4' high stand.

Allianances/Starting Positions
There are three robots on each side. Robots must be against their alliance wall to start.

Scoring
Knocking the 40" ball off of the stand during autonomous mode is worth 30 points. Each 12" ball in the alliance's high trough at the end of autonomous is worth 5 points. Each 12" ball in the alliance's low trough at the end of autonomous is worth 3 points.

At the end of the match, each 12" ball in the alliance's high trough at the end of the match is worth 5 points. Each 12" ball in the alliance's low trough at the end of the match is worth 2 points. (Note: balls that were scored in the trough during autonoumous are included again in the end-of-the-match scoring)

At the end of the match, having all 28 of the balls of one color in an alliance's combined troughs is worth 20 bonus points.

At the end of the match, having the 40" ball in an alliance's home zone is worth 10 points.

Balls can be removed from the troughs by an opposing alliance.
