Re: Next Year's Game?

I think this is a fantastic concept as a high level idea to build a competition around. I think This is probably the best game idea I have heard described in a long time. Add in some sort of auton mode to release game pieces and some spectacular endgame action and this is pretty cool!

This does a few things:
Adds a weird twist, could be fun.
Makes the difficulty of vision tasks more intrinsic and less dependent on lighting.
Lots of interesting sort options: presort+hoppers, "turret sort" (change target as pieces line up in the turret), "cerberus sort" (two heads that each remain locked on a target), "belch sort" (change turret speed based on whether or not you want the ball to go in), "driver sort" (only pick up the "correct" color), etc.


A third and fourth unsorted goal may be added with decreased points, to give teams a low-bar achievable target.
