1. The idea is that the most robust and easy-to-use (i.e. well-designed) robots will do the best. See Apple for a real-life example of this philosophy (they did not invent the personal MP3 player, single-button interface, or tablet, but the iPod, iPhone, and iPad are all ubiquitous because they are robust and easy to use).

2. Ssshhhh, it's a secret...

3. I was picturing on-field. Ostensibly a box slightly larger than two robots. Passes cannot be completed in the bench area.
