I hope they make a game that allows for very creative out of the box robots. Many this year are boxes.

Yes, seeing that small balls were used two times in a row makes next years game piece(s) unlikely to be small balls, yet they are easy to work with and they open the door for a lot of creativity and potential. I do not think they will be small balls next year, but I will not be surprised if they are once again.

On the topic of creativity in regards to the robot, I do wish that this game allowed for more different ideas. One of the main reason I enjoyed Lunacy was because there were so many robots with different ways of scoring; I said "Wow, that's clever/ingenious" countless times the first day of competition. This year, it all seems to be the same bot and similar kicker design. The only thing that is different that I still go crazy over is the way each team manages to lift itself. That still drops my jaw. I just think that next year should open the door a little more and allow for more creativity.
