Add one more RC to the center of the step in playoffs.

Just give the current robots one ball - our arm could give that a good hurl

I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of removing the noodles all together. It's just an extraneous element that adds almost nothing strategic to the game.

It would be much more entertaining from an audience perspective. Teams would have to make sure to have esome spare parts though...

Keep current playoff structure, include co-op as means of scoring.

Edit - And let the Game Theory Commence.

If they did this, then it would mean that alliances could try to work together to eliminate the top seeded alliances and I think that goes a little beyond the spirit of FIRST.

It'd be even more interesting to leave everything else in the middle, so you still have to push your way past the landfill.

At the very least, is there any event that we could see this as an exhibition match?

In the semifinals, average the scores of the best 2 out of 3 for each alliance to determine who goes on to the finals.
