IDK, the name crescendo means the highest point and is used in music, but I think the highest point and I think of King of the Hill. What do y’all think?

That could also be a reason for why they’re adding the 4 motor drive limit. Makes for a more interesting pushing match when you cant just add more motor power.

It could be similar to 2018 where the points are based on the amount of time in control of the hill. Maybe even similar powerups

I think we would be ok with effectively replaying 2003, yeah

I’m just imagining something like the MIT 2.007 (used to be 2.70 during Woody’s day) ski hill… but much much bigger and double sided to fit more bots at once.
Rough terrain to make it hard to get back up easily. Like hilly bumps or slippery terrain. Definitely see the value of less propulsive motors in a game like that.

A game similar to Splatoon where alliances control different areas of the field by placing some kind of marker would be pretty cool.

It would be cool to see the differences and similarities teams make to their robots from their 2018 robot. That could make for exciting gameplay as well. If they did that I wonder what they would do to make the game different. They could add other scoring mechanics like in FTC’s Freight Frenzie with the balancing towers. Either way, this year’s game will be interesting given the name.
^^^^ Embrace the chaos.

We already played King of the Hill, in 2003. The game was called Stack Attack, which in practice meant that if anyone built a stack, it was immediately attacked and leveled. So the most common way to win was domination of the hill.
Oh, and we had rather significant drivetrain limitations. Look it up.

Make this out of regolith for more of a challenge
There were also no extension limits 
Correct. Some teams took FULL advantage— see Truck Town Thunder.
Is your challenge, also, to hermetically seal the bearings and electronics or is it just the slipperiness in which case this slippery stuff may suffice?
