I can't wait... After reading that thread for the past way-too-many hours, without catching up AT ALL until the past hour. Everyone was posting so fast, I was always five pages behind... But here I am finally. Yay.

So my ideas...

But here is another idea, an interesting version of 2v2v1 (Credit to my dad):
There are two alliances of two robots/teams on the field, competing against each other. There is also one neutral robot. The neutral robot can decide to either help one of the two other alliances or do some neutral-robot-only task. (Strategy would be important to decide this.) This robot can't win or lose, just help out.
^ I liked the idea until I realized this would be hard to do during final rounds.

So... depending on how well you are shovelling (your show) the game piece will be easier to get later, (after you're done shovelling?). Hmmm, I don't know what you're shovelling though.
