Re: 2014 Game
What if the entire field was a slope. Your alliance is all tethered together with a rope. You can only use some slippery tires (maybe the ones used in Lunacy [but on carpet, not Regolith]) you must prevent the other alliance from reaching the top, but not so much that you fail to reach the top yourself. Maybe you have a variety of differently weighted game pieces you have to haul up the "mountain", winner is the team who hauled the most weight. End game is if all your robots are at the top.

Re: 2014 Game
What if everything was made of Regolith?

Like the floor, the walls, the objective, and the only material permitted for robots was just regolith.

I'm sure that'd cause some friction with a lot of teams. Or...would it?

Re: 2014 Game
Since we all like patterns here, has anyone else noticed that the color of the carpet has a very repetitive pattern over the last few years?

2010: Green (Non-gray)
2011: Gray
2012: Brown (non-gray)
2013: Gray
2014: Blue, because water game (non-gray)

Re: 2014 Game
Robots operate attached to suspended monorails and can only travel along the rail. Maybe some clever game design putting some robots on the same rail.

So you basically mean ice hockey? Sounds like a water game to me.
