I don't think that building the same robot again will be an option. They usually try to design games that don't lend themselves to that. If there is a track, manipulation is probably going to be a little less direct. It doesn't seem to be that the robots could travel on the tracks, at least, not like a train, because the larger tube part would make that very difficult. So we would need to manipulate by arms or other such protrusions, and arms were practically impossible last year. It also may include some rule that prohibits ball intake, to make it more like soccer, so the robot has to control the ball without actually possessing it
