Like if there were big, immovable blocks/giant speed bumps on the playing field placed a half a foot away. Similar to the big blocks of concrete that (I think the British) put in fields to stop tanks in WWII. You couldn't drive a robot on wheels through them, so you'd have to make a robot that goes over them. It would be an interesting challenge.

I've suggested it before and I'll suggest it again. FIRST ought to offer a weight bonus for walkers - as in combat robotics.
It would definitely help spur drive-train creativity
