Underwater would be cool but there is too much risk of people making robots not watertight. Also, it would be kind of hard for the spectators to see. I like the aerial idea but I'm not sure what the robots could do. I was thinking of having two large conveyor belts running in opposite directions across the field somewhere near the center. Also, maybe if there was a ramp like this year but with a converyor belt running up to the top on both sides.

Or motorized spinning turntables on the field.

Or a four sided ramp with no flat spot on the top. Like a pyramid. And there is no way around it so you must go over. And the pyramid's edges are at 45 degree angles to the field edges. Oooo!

Or howabout a field where none of it is level?

What our engineer wants to see is a 20 foot verticle wall in the center of the filed that the robots have to get over. Oh I could just imagine the damage.

I slso like the idea of a multilevel field. Maybe three or four levels where it is possible to have a robot underneath another one but on a different level. Maybe with elevator lifts or many ramps. That would be cool.

The possibilities are endless!
