What do you think of the design of the game?

You can not wish for things to remain the same just for the sake of remaining the same. That is not how you innovate. That is not how you make an idea that will change the world. Insisting on keeping things just as they are only barely maintains a declining status quo because if you do not take advantage of a new opportunity somebody else will.

If somebody does start throwing balls you are completely right. That's going to be really interesting...and by interesting I mean terrifying. As my job puts me pretty near the field I may maintain the right to run for cover. On some level I consider it a slight oversight of FIRST to not have made the outside walls higher relative to that scoring zone. Even if all the people run that ball can do a serious job on, for example, the desk of electronic goodness where all of the sound system comes from and the game announcer sits.
