Thanks for asking...

OK I have several ideas I will post seperately to try to keep the posts short.
1) 4 v 1 (???)
Four robots working together with one robot acting as a spoiler. If the tasks are complicated enough a good defensive robot could be useful.
Pros
* 6 robots would win (4 plus one plus a back up)
* I liked 2001..it was like bowling (OK I had to learn to like it)
*there is still a competitive force on the field, especially during finals.
Cons
*Apparently no one else likes to bowl (:-)
* unbalanced play. One good defensive robot could change the game (hmm is that a pro?)
*5 robots on the field, not all on the same team. Could be confusing to the uninformed


In closing on this post.
Football takes abit to explain and many people watch it. As is hockey (For those of you that would say hockey is easy to explain include icing, penalties, pulling a goalie etc) in your explaination.
My point is, make the explanation of the rules around 4th when worrying about whats important.
A game that will challenge teams is more important

OK one more closing post. Love all the autonomous ideas I agree!!(15 seconds)
To further test our limits
Change the weight of the robot, to say..100 pounds?
Rookies won't know any better and veterens will have to learn how to think
*inside* the box.

More soon. Again thanks for asking
