Give a wieight bonus (30%?) to teams that build a "true" walker.

This means that robots that walk, without the use of rotating cams or wheels (that touch the floor), can wiegh a total of 156 lbs.

This would be a cool rule because it would encourage innovation in the drive train, which for many teams has gone virtualy unchanged since the creation of FIRST.

It would also spawn a wide range of unique designs never before seen or imagined.
