"Competition format" game suggestions

[Wayne C.]

If the "announcement" to go back to a competitive game is true- THANK GOD!

I doubt if the staging of the field will change dramatically since FIRST has invested $$ in the arena and it has worked well for the past few years.

Obstacles on the floor might be interesting- 4x4s or strung cables.

My favorite game would be to put a pallet of cinder blocks in the center of the floor. The goal is to build a platform in your end zone. The higher the platform the higher the doubler score. If the robot can get on top of the final structure you get a big bonus. Of course with two pairs of robots working against each other there would be competition for blocks and attacks on the platform while it is being built. It would make for a really exciting game.
Cinder blocks are available everywhere-cheap! Nothing too complex here but a real challenge.
