I am not sure why everyone is discouraging this. I believe this whole conspiracy thing is totally fake, however, no one can deny that it isn't teaching good principles. If teams are building at 75% weight, which many are, they are going to have a lot better time during the last week or so once they realize there is no endgame.
Having 20-30 pounds at the end to add support, add weights to balance, and still have a functioning robot will make crunch week a lot easier. The Team will be less stressed, judges will have an easier time, and you won't be cutting zipties to drop 1/10 lbs like we had to. Let people be misguided, it is making better, more flexible, teams.
