The minbot point amount is just right because it provides up to 50 points for the alliance that best demonstrates the cooperation between the different levels that was talked about at kickoff. Also, keep in mind that the points are for building an entirely different robot than your main one. While we are rather good at building robots here at FIRST, it is still a major accomplsihment to have a successful minbot. Therefore, it is definitely worth the points FIRST gave it.
