Re: Mini bot worth to many points

The points values themselves are pretty good. The problem is, like Chris is Me said, if one alliance has two minibots, and the other has none, they've almost guaranteed a victory.
Another big problem is that importance of certain point-resulting actions vary greatly from week 1 to Finals. As we saw last year, a good hanger was very valuable through about week 3- week 4. But by the time we reach finals, hanging is only about 8% of the totals.
It seems like the GDC is trying to base point values off of how they think the finals will play out, i.e., come finals time, the minibot value will be just right.
