After reading about how the Iranians, Estonians and everyone had so much trouble with shipping their prototypes to the convention hall, I have to wonder if they should just require everyone to ship their robots, even the U.S. and Canada teams who could drive if they wanted. Call it a test of the robot's sturdiness. Can't say it's not relevant to real-world applications.
