I'm hoping the GDC will pull out a much simpler game in 2018.
"Robots have to drive over, under, or through obstacles to shoot foam 'boulders' into the opponents' 'castle.'" Not that hard, and it opens up for more questions to give longer descriptions and get them more interested.

For this year, "teams bring gears and balls to their respective goals. The balls can go in high or low goals; the high goal is harder, but worth more points." Again, use just a bit of FRC terminology to make them ask questions and get them interested.
