Not likely.

I always said I wanted to build a hovercraft, and everyone called me crazy.

Well, who's crazy now? :-) Anyway, I'm not all too sure you could create the lift needed to move a 130 lb. robot around a field - not to mention the lack of control and traction.

Also, I don't think it's likely that we'd see a walking robot competition. Primarily, it's unlikely because I can't think of any walking robot design that moves even remotely as fast as anything we've seen. Walking mechanisms are just too slow to make for an exciting, timely game.

Couple that with the fact that my university already has a walking robot team, and it makes it no fun at all!
