However sick this idea is, I like it. Well, everything 'cept the kill saws. The only potential problem that would be with something like that (if I'm thinking along the same lines that is, but perhaps an animation needs to be made) is the heavy falling robots. With a bar they can only be tossed or flung straight down or out.

But a rotating ferris wheel could potentially fling a robot in an unpredictable manner. That's the same reason there's no lifting of heavy or hard objects. Too much danger involved. Maybe now it's time for plexiglas siding to protect spectators.

Here's my thought. 4 Robots on the field are provided with Wacom tablets and have to peacefully create a work of 15th century styled art in photoshop 6. No, wait, they get knitting needles and have to pick a teams logo to knit in the middle of a craft (sweater, coaster, blanket). That team gets + 10% of the score where the score is indicated by the surface area of the object knitted.

Or what about a giant game of perfection? 3 robots vs. 3 robots. For every 2 pieces a single alliance places, they get to trigger 1 peice of the opposing alliances "puzzle" to pop out. Each alliance may have up to 3 active triggers at any one time that they can activate.
