I disagree. Recycle Rush had many, many, many flaws...but it also birthed a lot of really cool, one-off designs (see also: #TeamTether, harpoons, factory robots, 1114 doing kiwi...).

If you wanted to make it the absolute worst, give it some obnoxious rules on what the robot can do above the bumper zone like Breakaway, then add some field features that incentivize staying short anyway. So that way you'll have a snoozer game and 95% of the robots looking the same.

Or you could just do Breakaway with enough team updates to make 469's robot completely illegal, and be done with it.
