I'm still forming around in my head the idea of something with rope.  Not rope
climbing, but something lateral.  Rope transversing/pickup.  Flycams.
Delta-by-rope.  Something where you'd have this big long span of rope with the
robots moving along them, doing some kind of task on the ground like moving
pucks around or dropping rings on poles.

(Can you tell I like lifts? :)  http://www.skilifts.org )

Simulating puting out a "forest fire" by measuring the amount of rice a robot
can drop by "flying" (along the rope) over a certain area in a short period of
time? (Mess factor:  5)

Not something like Steve's Balls or whatever.

Well, that's not really a competition, more of a very impressive and fun
demonstration/come-and-watch kinda thing.  Falls into the same catagory as
vending machines/assembly, which I think everyone deemed as "Boring" or "Iain is
stupid and dapper."  :)
