In this case BOTH robots would get 1/2 point (draw) for being on the
pedestal at some point during the match. Robots would only get 1/2 point if
no one is on the pedestal at the end.
As I understand it, it's NOT the goal to keep the pedestal clear of robots,
but to be the only robot on top of the pedestal. So, yes, this addition may
punish a robot that doesn't attempt to get on the pedestal.
Personally, I'd hate to see two robots that just sit there, and have them
score the same as two robots that battle the entire 3 minutes, only to knock
each other off at the last second.
As far as scoring goes it will give the crowd something else to watch for
during the match. "Did that robot come off the playing field?" I'm sure
there will be plenty of people watching each robot.
