The whole 4 on 0 thing was kind of dull. Teams didn't really seem excited after a match unless it was a ultra high score. People went to the matches like work. Gave high fives or would shake hands after then leave. The 1 on 1 on 1 had the teaming up problems. The 2 on 2 is traditionally the easiest most reliable format. Some games lend themself to collusion and others don't.

Its true the veteran teams can manipulate a ball in there sleep but rookie teams don't have the experience. So the game always has to be relatively simple. I'm waiting for a game in whcih the field is the game. 2001 had a sample with the bridge.

Stairs would be fun but teams with less resources would have a huge disadvantage. Year to year the game has to be simple for the new teams but different from the previous years to throw of the old teams.


Actual game ideas.

Instead of a flat top to the hill have one of those flexable bridges they have on playgrounds.

To go from side to side teams would have to go through an airlock where they'd have to pull 1 lever to open the first gate. Then go in let the first gate close then pull another lever to unlock a second gate. Only 1 gate could open at a time.

A six basket ferris wheel teams would have to place a ball/box in each basket to score.

More jungle gym things, a set of horizontal bars 6 ft above the field. Teams would have to swing across in order to get over a moat.

Instead of an actual moat have a marker area that would identify one. If you entered it you would be disabled for a period of time.

My dream game. Since we're at reliant stadium we'll use the football field. But the bots will need to be bigger so max dimensions are 8ft x 12ft x 12ft. The crates can be 6ft x 6ft x 6ft plywood boxes(similar to most teams crates). Rules are the same as this years game. The kit of parts include an old pickup truck.
