My 02c

OK.... If you all remember I had predicted 2 years ago that the robots would have to hang off the floor, I got the idea after seing the robots climb the Puck pole, and low and behold we had a game where robots had to do a chin up on a bar....
Last year I predicted a teeter totter, I got this idea after seing the ramp under the chin up bar and thought what if they turn it upside down....Hmmm and again low and behold we had the ramp that teeter tottered.
Well heres an idea for this year, you need skill, stratedgy and luck........
First all perameters of the field stay the same except there are three against three robots. each three are at opposit ends.
Dividing the field is a shelving unit, 8 feet high with 6 shelves. at each end of the field are 1' cubes painted different colors. each shelf is worth points and the higher you go the more points you get. The object of the game is to place the cubes on any of the shelves from your side. teams on the other side are doing the same. teams may not push an opponents cubes off the unit but they may steal them off the shelves and keep them in their own side for extra points.
At the start of the game the aliance will chose a secret color and hand a card to the judge. If at the end of the game the other side has taken any of your cubes that have this secret color then your team gets multiple points and the other side looses points. However you have to be careful what you steal or leave on the shelves. Blocking the shelf would also be alowed.
Moving cubes from one shelf down would be alowed.
Thats my Idea. Anyway I think it will involve cubes, Its the only shape FIRST has never used yet.
