If you were to design a game what would it look like and why would it be preferable over current or previous games? You may change any rules you want however try to stay close to something achievable similar to how The Moderately Sized Wave did purgatory. What would your game look like

While Iām not sure how well this would execute, I think an obstacle course game would be awesome, with a transportation based objective. Maybe like Over Under but to get to the goal there is a ladder to climb, a bridge to go under, a valley to traverse, etc, with bonuses for each challenge traversed per ball or something. Again, might not execute very well IRL because once someone figured out a robot that could do it all the meta would just go super stale, but I think it would be cool to see.

Yeah I think that would be a really cool idea and you could do like a relay to see how many times you could complete it
Or you could do it competition style and see who can get there first
VIQRC 2025-2026, Tidal Tipping, robots compete in teamwork alliances to collect game elements and stack them onto platforms, these platforms rotate on an axis to make scoring more difficult. 4 platforms will occupy the 4 corners of the game field. The scoring elements will come in 4 shapes of various colors and sizes. Robots will receive a bonus for uniformly stacking related colors and sizes onto various platforms. At the end of the game robots will navigate their way to the center of the field and must participate in peer assisted elevation. One alliance robot pushes down the ramp while the other bot drives up to balance, if the alliance robot is able to join their teammate in parking an additional 6 points will be added to the initial 6 points of solo elevation. All scoring elements stacked on a balanced platform are worth 2 points with an additional 2 points for all scoring elements sorted uniformly.

I had an idea where it would be similar to tower takeover, but with a bonus for non conforming shapes stacked. For example, some elements could be
Hollow pyramids
Cubes
Pins (kinda like the skyrise yellow stacky thingies)
Spheres (extra challenge)
And a non-conformity bonus, x2 if all of them are different.

rotating would just be impossible for execution

I definitely think it would be different than usual but it would be a really cool game
