A few possibilities I can offer that a driver might do in competition that you might not see in another environment:

1. What happens if you drive your robot forward and backwards quickly several times?

2. What happens if you push another robot with your robot (put 130lbs of bricks on something with wheels and try it)?

3. What happens if you go full throttle up the bridges?

4. What happens if you skate along a wall with the robot?

5. If your robot can turn in place, what happens if you do that then suddenly reverse rotation?

6. What happens if you run your end effector and drive train at the same time (does the battery brown out)?

Just a few instances that merely driving around might not simulate that easily crop up during matches.
