Scoring, I was thinking like Aim High but use a field goal instead of a hoop. Possibly have two lower goals like aim high also.

It is totally derivative of the OCCRA game last year, but the football was a really neat and challenging game piece.

yeah the end bonus would be if you crossed Sumo with a Rugby Huddle (I forget teh name). 2 to 8 bots trying to occupy the same 6' circle for the bonus. With it being 6', this would make it too difficult for a team to take in the first minute without taking a line fault penalty.

I love the idea of bonus weight playing pieces! Maybe have several 16LB of bowling balls out there that teams could use. Really available, toungh, and difficult to handle. Or you could have a bowling ball ( hard and round so it will be dynamic)(16 lb), a box of rocks (partially filled for a shifting CG piece) (20 lb), and a kevlar bag of sand (heavy and amorphous) (40 lb).

You could be light and agile during the first minute, and then put one your robot Sumo suit (bag box and ball would add 76 pounds!).

What if the center circle was a different material than the carpet?????
