Ridiculous Endgame Futility.

Sure, one of my organization's teams won FTC champs. Yet any game where the ingenuity of doing anything prior to endgame is totally nullified by the endgame itself is pretty disenfranchising. One of the bots at worlds deployed a friggin minibot when it had the magnet ball (an innovative answer to the hardest problem on the FTC field) -- only to be trumped by a 12' lift since it was so undervalued.
