Re: Next Year's Game?

So this is what it is going to come down to. Every three years they bring a certain type of game back.

06 & 09 = Game was determined by scoring multiple balls
05 & 08 = Was determined by raising a game piece
04 & 07 = Was determined by the robot itself

So what we might be looking for is a game that it will come down to how the robot can do something, either by itself (like hanging), or with the help of their alliance members (raising them up).

I think it would be nice if they threw everything out of the window, and invented a game that had the mindset of "Aim High" and "Raising the Bar" together.

Keep the carpet idea because teams learn more on the basis of carpet, then add the hoops like Aim High did, and maybe even a couple moveable trailers that you can move around the field. Then having bars set on each side of the field that the robots can hang from, either having to score on the opposite side of the field, or even right in front of you.
