I would like to see a bonus round where they drop a curtain in front of each driver station, and then you have to manipulate a game piece or do something else difficult based only on your video feed.

As an alternative, they could have some sort of enclosure in the middle of the field where some game pieces are and the only way you can play with them is to have a camera on the end of your manipulator.

I would suspect this sort of game design feature would be coming soon.
I would love the play by only camera function. I'm a fan of the ball games, and they seem to entice the crowd more especially, Though this system of scoring is simple, i was talking to people who were not part of FIRST and were at the competition and were lost on what was going on like
"scoring into your own side"
"how do the points work"

Maybe game of dodge ball or hockey would be amazing, a lot of teams seem to want to take a nice whack at others bots (and doing not very much damage for 's sake) and get rewarded for it.

By the way, this is my first time in this type of discussion and have learned one word to make ten posts follow it
"water game!!!"
