I don’t want to sound negative but I don’t think having mutable levels of playing field or Frisbees will ever happen.

Concerning the multiple levels

I don’t think that this will happen for two reasons. First building The second level will require lots of material to make it sturdy enough for the robots. This will cost allot to build for the completions and for teams to build and practice on. It also poses a safety issue of robots falling off and breaking.

And concerning the Frisbees

I’m not opposed to using something besides balls but I don’t think the Frisbees will be used. First I don’t believe that there are any standard sizes of Frisbees so if a team wants to buy more it may be hard for them to find the exact same ones. I personally feel that balls are the best way to go. Instead of changing the 'playable units' I think it would be better to change how they are scored. Maybe a goal with and opening in it just big enough for one ball at a time. Or even a goal that is blocked off so that the robots are kept 3 feet away from it. This encourages launching the balls or having long arms to place the balls in the goal.
