That means that either the matches are going to be really long, or the robots will have car engines.
5 kilometers in 2 minutes and 20 seconds! With autonomous for the first 20 seconds! So the robots will have to average just a little under 80 miles per hour, with faster peak speeds! And they could follow some very interesting trajectories if their autonomous modes are even a little bit off!

I guess it doesn't seem very safe.

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.
