Please try to apply GP to situations where is makes some sense, as otherwise you're just diluting the meaning.
Can you make a robot (for example 28"X28"X28") that can purposely tip over on it's side, to tip the trailer, in autonomous, but there are wheels on your side so you can still move while on your side. This would take a goal out of play and let you still move and possible play, if you stay within size limits.
