That's how they do it in "real" rock crawling. It will be a little
different for us, because you don't actually have to "put it into
reverse". I think having a penalty for backing up may be good.
In the "real" event, there is also a penalty for using rear-steer,
but I think we should encourage "complexity in the robot/truck".
Maybe we could also offer some points for the actual design of the
robot. Like you get ?? points (to improve your score) if the truck
has rear-steer, 4 wheel drive, a working suspension...
