So I am thinking for the 2016 game he may try and reuse the pool noodles and make the game more focused on them. Thoughts?

At the Arizona West regional there was a robot that was made to pick up a noodle. It was a box with an arm on top that grabs noodles and that was it.

That would actually introduce the very real engineering challenge of having to drive around on the field without having the balls interfere with your drive-train.

It would be especially interesting if they also had ramps or platforms that teams had to climb over.

So like FTC 2014-15 Cascade Effect?

We may have tetras but we won't have stacking again.

2015's game hint showed all the previous games being played, but didn't recycle the games.

Because 2016 will be the 25th anniversary of FRC, a "landmark year", I think we see a combination of previous game elements.

Here's hoping for a 2009 playing field and wheels, playing the 2008 game with 2015 litter, divided in half with 2012 co-op bridges, and 2011 minibots climbing the 2013 pyramid.

What, not a good idea?

You just blew my mind and most likely my team's wallet

2016 Football game would be amazing, it'll make senior year so much fun!

Here's the next game. It's part of a campaign by FIRST to teach teenagers how to pick up after themselves.

Agreed... I may or may not have already drawn out a football launcher...

You know come to think of it, robots would be really bad at folding towels. Ah! So difficult!

Folding towels? How about folding two at the same time!
