Anyway, I think the game is quite complex and has some really big flaws.

That kind of massive variation in point values for something that could be done based on luck could potentially really unbalance the game.

While the IR sensor is certainly not the easiest thing to find, I know that I've seen many top-level teams perfect whatever task involved the IR sensor every year. Going back to Hot Shot, there were teams that could use the same sensor to track the rotation of the goal in autonomous to score, and their shooter followed the goal with high accuracy.
It's a hard task, but I believe that teams that are want to be in contention for the championship will need to take advantage of that bonus.
