So you are saying there is NO possibility that another robot will push you backwards or sideways, while your wheels happily keep spinning in the forward direction?

and there is no way your robot will ever hit the wall or sides, and sit there spinning its wheels, thinking its still moving forwards?

Experience is a cruel teacher. First you are tested, then you learn the lesson.
