Also, an elevated drivers' stand would be nice so you can see if your goal grabber is fully attatched or if you are about to run over an extender.
The top part of our robot was so strong that we put it on the bottom of the crate and it never got bent. I think everyone kindof prepared for heavy contact but then realized that it really wasn't necessary to win a match (for example, having the little robots or tape measures to score points instead of running back through people.) I think more contact was a good idea, with poor execution due to changing rules.
