Wonder if the recycled game bit means that the inner tubes will make (another) reappearance

I think we can be sure they'll make another appearance at some point. The question really should be... when can we expect to see Orbit Balls again? (Why isn't there a "duck and cover" or "run and hide" smiley anywhere?) Personally, I've been waiting for something like Tetras to show up again... I wasn't around that year, and think it would be a fun challenge

I doubt it, there isn't much you can do with inner tubes that would warrant another inner tube game.

How about playing Triple Play with tubes(giant poles you put the tubes on in a vertical plane as opposed to horizontal) never done that with them before, or a game where you have to pass inner tubes off to get more points for them see two idea where we can reuse inner tubes without much effort.

Personally I want to play a game with floppies, tetras or boxes again. I am getting sick of shooting games

FIRST should do a forum where teams brainstorm game aspects and generate ideas for rules, etc. Then FIRST can pick and choose ideas that they like. As long as everyone doesn't say watergame

I think they've got enough ideas from http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=148 to last a few years yet.

You really want to look at some of the older threads--the ones started by dlavery--for some really wacky ideas (that may or may not have inspired some form of FRC game).
