Done.

Hillary Havoc: Robots put foam cubes called emails into bins called servers. Keeping with the theme, robots cannot defend servers. The floor is regolith, and any team who has a relationship with a prior world champion wins every match by default.

Trump Terror: Robots compete (on regolith of course) to build a wall across the middle of the field. Teams then launch foam balls over the wall into the other alliance's territory. If an alliance relaunches the balls back across the wall, bonus points are given.

Does that make you feel better?

Re: Worst possible game

I think that the worst game FIRST could make would be a water game. I'm still not sure why everyone likes the concept of it. Then again I'm in the one percent that really enjoyed Recycle Rush, so that may explain some of it...

Another thought is a game like Stronghold, but all the defenses are constructed out of Regolith, and you must use the same drive wheels from 2009. Only one breach would happen in the course of the entire season, lol.

Close, but what if each alliance had their own blocks for building the wall, and they must use the blocks belonging to the opposing alliance for the wall? Meaning there would be red blocks on the red side, and blue blocks on the blue side. The red alliance must take and use the blue blocks, and vice versa. Whoever finishes first wins, but any robots on the wrong side of the wall must be sent back to their side. If they refuse to go there on their own, they may be pushed, dragged, launched, or otherwise moved to the correct side. Additionally, one robot on each alliance will be assigned as Donald Trump, referred to as The Donald. The Donald will be identified by a wig and optional hat.

One adjustment. Your alliance wins if the other alliance builds the wall. Ready, set, play.
