I guess this is somewhat in response to my vote on the last poll. I think all out war would be a good way to bring more excitement into the game. I mean this is a competition, robots are not people, they don't feel pain. If everyone knew ahead of time that there would be heavy interaction, I think we could all build for it. As long as we all expected anything to happen, it wouldn't be a surprise. We could all still act with gracious professionalism, of course. You could limit the destruction by inspection, for example: no robots can have devices meant to penetrate other robots. But tipping, ramming, or lifting would be ok. I think the excitement level would be unreal. Just look at how popular robot wars was. It gave the crowd what they wanted. It encouraged unlimited thinking in the design. I know this may sound radical, but just think of the mass appeal!
