Just because the advantage looks relatively small does not mean it doesn't have major impacts on gameplay. Do a few comparisons of speed vs distance while accelerating and it easy to see that 'mere' 20-30% quickly converts into much higher energy impacts since the energy imparted is proportional to the square of the velocity. These will inevitably occur more often during gamely since they don't require much room for the acceleration.

The advantage then becomes "find the robot who can't do much on offense and which has 6cims, then tell them to go push the other robots around. If they hit the opponents enough, maybe the opponents will just stop working and then we can win".
