In my game, the field would be divided into 2 halves with only a line down the middle and a 6 foot circle in the center. Each side would start out with 20 footballs on the floor. For every ball scored, 2 balls will be thrown into the opposing alliances 1/2 by a random launcher. Bots are not allowed to go Off-sides during the first minute. The second minute is wide open. Bonus for any bot completely inside the circle at the end of the match.

Also, I would go back to a 2 bot classification system. Tall bots (standard size), but 100 lb limite, and squat bot (under 3 foot), but they can be 120 lbs.
So sort of like a SUMO competition? How would the balls be scored? What about adding heavy objects that the robots can use to gain traction in the end game? I like it.
