That's what I loved about this year. No 2 robots looked the same. Many were doing the same thing just in completely different ways. I think a water game would be perfect in this sense. No teams have done it before so no one would really know what to build

Actually, several teams have been doing NURC for a while now. I'd pick them hands down for a water game.


The last time we had a game this wide-open in terms of design choices was 2007 (2008 doesn't count, as anybody could build a lap-bot) with the armbots, the rampbots, and the "hybrids" that could do both well (and there weren't many of those--lots of attempts, though!). The time before that was 2004, with the bar specialists, the small-ball specialists, and some that could do everything to some extent or another. I'd love to see that sort of thing return.
