Re: What happened in the finals at West Michigan?

Though I am surprised there's no further penalty for contacting an opponents robot, like Gary mentioned above, if I were in charge of strategy for a match and a situation arose where taking a three point penalty would guarantee a team not score an ubertube, then I would almost certainly go for it.

In my opinion it's a perfectly viable strategy, though potentially quite risky/challenging. Obviously it's hard to predict where a robot will be at a given moment in autonomous mode, and then there's always the possibility of a team being able to compensate and undo whatever "damage" you're capable of doing using sensors.
