Also, I would like to see humans have less of an impact, and instead the balls start on the field, would give auto mode a cool twist

Along the same lines, maybe moon rocks should be worth 3 or 4 points in auto...

It would be cool to see robots getting a empty on the run, led by a throw from the outpost, as long as something like an empty cell had to be touched by a robot before the (standing human, sorry but forgot the name ) could receive it.

I would like to see more super cells scored by robots, maybe they were worth 20 points that way...

Thats about it, but I think Luncay with these changes would feel more impressive and be a bit more entertaining for observers.
The floor surface change would make this game a rougher version of the 2006 game. (the roughest to date) Many of the robots built for the current state of driving wouldn't be in one piece after a few matches let alone mobile if we changed back to carpet. It would be an incredible game to watch, but its just too much to ask of the trailers and the robots. It would be battle bots.
