where were the elements of hockey? yeah I guess catching something over a raised bar (like the 2014 truss) is like volleyball and there's some soccer since you are shooting into a goal, and maybe basketball with the 1 point goal, but when I think of hockey I think of shooting something into a goal on the ground by sliding a game object across the surface of the field and no FRC game has done that. Breakaway was the closest to that but the bumps in the field made it so that robots were often kicking balls above the field surface, not sliding them across it
