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.

Josh, this seems to be a viable strategy, though one thing has me worried. Isn't intentionally getting a penalty in order to gain some sort of strategic advantage considered Egregious Behavior and therefore subject to a yellow card under rule <T06> ?
