No wheels -- hover craft.
A hockey-like game?

A football oriented game? The elliptical balls would prove a worthy challenge to deal with!

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

probably a variation of another mainstream sport (already did soccer, basketball, nascar)
mountain climbing?

I could see football but the GDC would have to write the rules to prevent excessive robot damage and Juggernaut teams (flying V robots).

I would like to suggest that, if English is not your first language, make note of that in your sig.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

All jokes aside, I'd really like to get through this season before someone throws another game at me.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

I'm just going to go ahead and start discussion of the 2013 game, if you don't mind...

Seriously, it gets earlier and earlier every year. But we as teams will know little or nothing until next January. Sure, it's fun to speculate. But to do that while well over a third of the teams still have at least one event left is just a little premature...

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

With the Classmate and camera's finally being standard equipment for everyone, I think they should make a game where the bonus round requires the camera and driving from the camera.

Like submarine ROV's and robots in space sometimes the only feedback you have is what the camera is telling you. I would like to see a bonus round where they drop a curtain in front of each driver station, and then you have to manipulate a game piece or do something else difficult based only on your video feed.

As an alternative, they could have some sort of enclosure in the middle of the field where some game pieces are and the only way you can play with them is to have a camera on the end of your manipulator.

I would suspect this sort of game design feature would be coming soon.
