These events would be fun as entertainment with maybe little prizes, but would not be good for competeing for nationals. It would be unfair to those that work hard to master all aspects of the game so they can win the competition if someone could build a robot that all it can do is run around real fast and they still got into nationals. A robot that goes around fast might do poorly in competition but would do real well in a small game. These minigames also take away the competition aspect of first. first is all about making a robot so you can work well with allies and get around opponents.
