Though I understand the concerns behind this rule, I want to point out the best robot is not always necessarily the winner of the regional. In the first match, a combination of the blue alliance playing solidly and executing a strategy well combined with the time it took for the red alliance to rid itself of the third autonomous ball caused them to lose the match.
