Actually, just thinking of that...labyrinth? It'd be awesome!
Neat idea. I like the idea of a changable labyrinth.

To make a field reset faster for a changing labyrinth, they could require smaller bots and a half sized field. This would allow the traditional field to be split into two fields. Set up one side while the other side is being played on. Just a thought. Remember, the size of the bot can be changed with a change of the rules.

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

Maybe we all are over looking the cake part of bills blog post. Could hint towards game piece shape ( general thoughts of cake shapes are square/rectangle ) or even multiple phases of the game ( like multilayer cake or multiple tier cakes ). Or even different parts of the game and how they're different but yet all important. With cakes you have the your cake (obviously) base frosting, border, and secondary decorations.

Maybe, going off of Dominator's ideas, different robots in each alliance have different tasks?

(I'm like Nostradamus: I keep guessing in hopes that something's somewhat right.)

Although not written in stone (or aluminum), the game pieces tend to be variations of the FIRST logo shapes, triangle, square, and circle. If they are going to deviate from this, I vote for footballs. Punt, pass, and kick anyone?

Re: anyone have any ideas about next years game?

Crap. Now all I can think about is "You remind me of the bot. What bot? The bot with the power. What power? The power of YouTube. Who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of the bot."

I don't think the pattern's really held in the last four years. Three ball games and tubes. Circles, all.

(I also hope Dean doesn't actually give away part of the game before the actual Game animation, like he did this year.)

Our team is actually making our practice bot into a frisbee catcher so that we can work on learning to use the cameras and such.
