Well, in most northern states the water game would turn into an ice game. Course that would be interesting to me.

Optimally next years game would allow multiple ways of scoring that are scored appropriately to their difficulty. Autonomous mode will probably make a come back as opposed to hybrid. Hybrid was an interesting twist but with the increased processing power it seems foolish not to use it. Dont be surprised to see a twist on the game piece. I am tempted to agree with Leav that pool noodles would be an awesome game piece. Inter-robot communications would be pretty fun to do as well as very relevant to real life.

Ok now for some randomness:
at every regional we will have a webserver our robots will have to open a tcp/ip connection to. Will have to traverse the file structure and find a file. Open the file and it will contain the location to drive to (randomly generated on a per robot basis) at that location we have to place an object and repeat the process. And thats just auton.

Ok that was a fun joke.
