Hubicki is an unknown quantity at this point
I think in many ways, tieing with a rather large score would be much more difficult than aiming to win. Also, I believe a match where all the robots cooperate on the field would be a lot less interesting (especially for the average viewer) than head to head competition *cough* 2001 *cough*. It also takes away from the excitement for the other teams. In my experience, in 2 v 2 competition, you're always rooting for the underdog to win and it makes audience participation greater. A valid suggestion I believe, but when FIRST is "competing" against sports and entertainment (which are "evil"), a coopertition isn't what the organization needs.
