How to manage the athletic performance level of the robots? They could be made much faster and more energetic than the human players. Some might consider that cheating if they can run twice as fast, say. Can they communicate wirelessly with each other or are they limited to visual/audible cues? Skeuomorphism.

Presumably by size. What's the fasted/best, bipedal, robot weighing roughly 170 pounds that can operate for 90 minutes?

What's the intermediate step for this? What's the record for a bipedal 100m dash? For one big enough to meaningfully kick a soccer ball (even if it can't currently)? What's the 100m dash record for a robot that can also run 7+ miles over 90 minutes?

I feel like we're close -- but we're not really close. We're close on individual qualifications, but not combining them. We may genuinely be there with the control systems and computing if we had a performant robot.
