In my house using the word "bored" or any form of it is forbidden. Use it and you'll be given something exciting to do, like weed the flowerbed.

So in the interest of ending your boredom, here's an assignment. Take one system on this year's robot that you wished worked better and redesign it. If doing it on paper isn't enough, go ahead and build it. See if you can make it work.

In the "real world" this is called research and development. It may or may not apply to next year's game, but sooner or later it or a slight modification will. And you just might learn something in the process.
