So, whaddya say?.... let's HOOP IT UP!!!

: Andy - I think that you have the making of a great game as well! With a few tweaks
I bet it would meet most of the requirements that we would have set. I also think that
change is a good thing. If we continue to keep the game elements the same it will
become too easy to solve the problems associated with them. Such as, how to pick
balls. (I think most of the non-rookies have seen at least 10 ways by now!) So, therefore
I declare that nothing should be sacred - 2 minutes (Bah!), 2 Team alliances (Yeech!),
1 HP per team (Why?), Let's not put too many constraints on the old noggin' here!
I'm with you on this one, but - I also believe that we must (1) 'Keep it simple', (2) Be true
to the criteria you set as what the game elements must be! I can think of a few ideas that
could allow a game like this to work within the FIRST environment. Great work, Keep it up!
