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).
I think a game without motion would lead to more such creativity. More innovation. The Beatty Bot still blows my mind every time I see it. (I wish I had gotten to see it in person).

I know FIRST would never adopt such a game, because as you said it's "boring" to most normal people. I think the new TV oriented FIRST is a good idea, and I love exciting games (2001 just always seemed a little off). But I think a stationary game would be an interesting challenge.
