Well we used that "joke" of an autonomous period to push one of the mobile goals across the field and park it securely in the floor opening on the same side of the field, cutting off 50% of the access those pesky human players had to balls herded from the field. So they can't both be bad things.
We've heard it before - in a nutshell, 2004 was one of the best years for robot functional diversity and design freedom. Everyone could find something to like about the game - that is why it is so popular.
