I wouldn't be surprised if there were some human simulations prior to Kickoff, but the robots thing doesn't surprise me much. Imagine how much time and effort it takes to design and build a robot with a whole team in six weeks. Now imagine building six robots with thirteenish people (sorry, don't remember how many people are on the GDC) who live long distances from one another and are busy with their other jobs. The GDC is made up of talented people, so if we assume it takes them six weeks to design and build each robot, which I think is not excessive given their lack of manpower, it would take eight months to complete six robots. That means they would have to complete the game design in March in order to get a month to test the game in December.
