Several members of our team came to the same conclussion. But, others tried to point out that the object (not the object of FIRST, the object of competing at a regional or nationals) is not to win every match, but to make it to the finals. If you have a score of 44 every time, you most likely won't rack up enough qualifying points to make it to the finals.
Of course, there's the chance of beeing picked--but I've always felt safer building a robot with the goal of us doing the picking, than purposely designing it to have us crossing our fingers and hoping we get picked.
