This game, the laws of physics pretty much dictate a maximum speed and there's maybe one or two ways to reach that speed - so it becomes a "race" in who deployed right at the 10.0 mark, or who got a lucky battery charge, rather than an actual demonstration of which team had a better engineered mini bot.

There is quite a bit of engineering and design work involved in objectively reaching that 10.0 mark that should not be tossed aside.
