That's why I think the scoring should be different. Robots who can stop the
FASTEST after passing the line should be rewarded. IE, a robot who finishes
in second place can still win, if it stops much much faster after passing
the finihs line, rather than simply coasting away.
There needs to be intuative scoring here, and I hate math, so I'm not going
to bother attempting to figure it out. :)

I really like this idea as well, Jeff!
