Frank,
Good luck, but your forgetting that a lot of the "fancier robots" will also be really fast, and also in skilled hands.
While no one can argue with the laws of physics, you actually have to hit something in order to use that wonderful momentum you were describing. Besides, did you think of robots with passive defense systems, like ramped sides and such? Does anyone remember "Big Jimmy" from 2000? This year might mark the return of the "wedge-bots".
Who says 2002 was the year of the drivetrain? I think it's 2003.
