Giant dueling arms reaching across the field. How exciting.

Of course, we'd need to keep the pneumatics, and we might need more motors...

Ohh the possibilities!
It might be cool, but to an outsider to robotics (and if you were explaning the game to someone) it would seem rather boring. Having the robots move will always be a part of the game (i think).

Look at 71's 'walking' bot from last year. One dosn't need wheels/track to move. All you need is an idea
