So I am debating whether or not to use the GPL, or to come up with a license that basically says "Do not use this code in its entirety on a robot; use it as a reference only". I'm leaning towards GPL; but I'd like to hear other opinions.

I would wait until kickoff to decide - which I'm sure you will anyway. The discussion still rages about what uses of pre-kickoff code are legal.
If GPL-ing your code puts it in the same category as Kevin's code, then you might want to use a different license. If the rules prohibit using freely available code written before kickoff, then the GPL seems like a good choice.
I see no problems with using the GPL and combining it with non-GPL software. The only catch is that you shouldn't re-distribute the non-GPL code or binaries which were built with non-GPL code (unless those licenses permit it).
