Say the game calls for speed like Block Party did. That's great you realize it and you build a fast robot that can zip around the field. Okay someone plays defense on you. Would you rather have to try and make a move around them and possibly have to around to the other side of the field or would you rather shift and be able to just push them out of your way?
