Keep the game exactly the same, EXCEPT make the step cans available the last 30 seconds of the match only.
Think about that for awhile........

Maybe I have not thought long enough. So far all I come up with is, pity the Head Referee who has to decide whether that robot won the race, or jumped the gun. Could be really tough to call when opposing robots try for the same can, possibly using different techniques; e.g., side claw vs. top hook. Harpoons fired from crossbows would be especially challenging.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
