Actually, re-reading this, I do have one change to suggest, that should make it a
tiny bit more interesting to watch.
If the robots start (as listed) side-by-side, they will move, what about 1 inch
before they run into each other. Then, they just start a painful-to-watch pushing
match.
On the other hand, if they are started behind the line, they'll be able to race a
combined two feet, before they smash into each other.
Speed would be good, because then your opponent has an uphill battle. Power would
be good, because then you can fight that uphill battle.
The battle would be won or lost at the moment of impact...
ah, just a thought
