I'm pretty sure BEST did this either last year or some time beforehand. Kinda interesting, and it would be a radical departure.

I just had this one, and I figured I'd give it a shot...suppose in a ball game there were some event that triggered a set of electric leaf blowers on one side of the field. With a light enough ball (or a strong enough blower), you'd create an advantage/disadvantage setup, which would make alliance coordination a bit more important--you'd want to be able to move balls where you want without losing control of the blower.
