Ooooh... now there is an interesting idea, adding onto last year's "periods" introduction. I'll add on to it:

Make one (or more) of the periods "contact free".

For example:

Period 1: autonomous period (could be contact free, or not)
Period 2: Full contact, free-for-all scoring
Period 3: non-contact, free-for-all scoring
Period 4: Full contact, free-for-all scoring

Period 3 would be the "weenie period" where the offensive robots would dominate, and the box-on-wheels would wimper. Once period 4 started, the offensive robots would have to definitely keep their eyes open.
