  2. I think that the points should also be adjusted to be lower for the third robot on an alliance similarly to how selection points are distributed in FiM. Maybe the first two robots on an alliance get 10/15/25/35 while the third robot gets 5/10/20/30.
I agree with your idea that the points should be bumped up for eliminations to really help teams that earned their spot in the eliminations. But I disagree with your point on giving the third robot less points. The randomness of qualifications and the possibility of robots breaking sometimes leads to teams qualification score not matching the true power of their robot and therefore they should not be penalized for how they are picked.
