Mike,
I really like the idea of -1 point balls amidst other balls. Such an aspect adds a whole new dimension to any game. It would encourage teams to have mechanisms that distinquish between the different types of balls so it could raise their own score and lower the other team's score. Also, this leads itself to ball pickers that clean a goal of its negative balls. Overall, the robot diversity would be greater and more interesting. This could be implemented with not only balls, but whatever scoring mechanism that is used for the game. It also would be very convenient to turn the tides at the end of the match by quickly hurdling some negative balls into the other goal. I believe it's a very inventive idea. The only problem being with this would be the QP factor. Implementing any negative balls would lower the Potential QPs for the match (that is, if the loser score multiplier is implemented). Matches where these negative balls are used will tend to have much lower Qps than matches where they aren't used. It all depends on the QP scoring system. Nonetheless, a very cool idea.
