If the competition were individual teams against individual teams for individual results, then I would say no problem, use whatever tactic is smart. But FRC is played with alliances, and for the 2 minutes of the match, your responsibility is to the alliance. If losing benefits the whole alliance (as we sometimes saw last year) then the alliance can do whatever they chose. But to put your own results before the alliance and sabatoge your partners, that would be unacceptable.
