speed up matches for immobile robots?

Olivier,
Would it be a good idea to add a set-ending rule for immobile robots?
That would speed up a lot of the uninteresting matches at the low end
where one or both robots are almost or completely immobile. 
And make life-viewing a lot more interesting and a lot shorter in time.

Perhaps this :
if a robot has not moved for at least (the largest distance) 0.05
units from its initial position in the first 15 seconds, it looses the
set.

This won't catch robots falling at the start.
Perhaps move at least 0.05 in each 15-second interval? To prevent
robots from becoming too passive. In a real judo contest you get
punishment for  too-much passive behaviour. (KInator won't like that.)
