Re: Game Possibilities

Hmmm... energy efficiency has to be a big social theme. What if each team got a limited number of fresh batteries to use each day?

Or what if rather than having electrical connections to the pit areas, teams had to generate all the power they used... for charging, computers, tools, etc. from "off the grid" zero emissions sources. Exercise bike-o-rama!

A recycling challenge could be good... various objects on the playing field that need to be sorted and returned to recycling bins.

Or, keeping with a space theme... what if there were various "space station modules" suspended over the playing field that needed to be manipulated in some way. (Okay, probably not that... but the chance to build a Canadarm would be too cool for teams north of the border.)

Or it could be a Mars Rover theme... the game would be scheduled to last for two minutes, but would acutally keep running for five years.
