I have a sneaky suspicion that these would not be welcome on gymnasium floors.

How about this for a game
The field is cut in half by a large barrier say 5 to 6 feet high. Each alliance puts one robot on one side and two on the other. There are one or two tracks over the field with track balls on them. The tracks are arranged in such a way that the balls cant come off. On the field there are two types of balls, a smaller one (possibly a tennis ball) and a larger more dense ball. To score you have to get more balls onto the opposing teams side of the barrier. The small balls are worth less then the larger balls but are more abundant. There could possibly be large goals in the back corners to aim for, and can be scored in by the one robot you have on there side. Once in these goals they balls could not be removed. Teams also get points based on where the large overhead trackball is at the end of the match. The only way you are allowed to move the trackball along its track is by shooting it with other balls. The farther on the opponents side you get it the more points your alliance gets. In the beginning at least most balls shot at the track ball will bounce back onto your side making you have to choose between moving it or getting the balls on the other side.

Thoughts?

Wouldn't that just be battle bots basically with a ball in the arena?

I would love to have a game where you score points by moving game pieces to your opponents' side of the field.
It would be cool to have the sides of the field separated by stairs. A little like the bumps from 2010, but taller and stairs. The end game could be like king of the hill.

2002 was such a game. As was 1999 (though I must admit, the 1999 one was a multiplier for your base score). Both involved moving large game pieces--goals in 2002, a "puck" that robots could climb on in 1999--to your opponents' side of the field or a specific zone therein to score points.

I like the high speed games, like last year. The game pieces exit the robot at bone-shattering speeds. That's my version of fun

One word: Pong

I am going to guess it is going to be something in relation to the Olympics. Maybe Hockey?
