I will preface this with I do not like this game, but I think you are wrong. If this game were to play how the GDC thought it was going to play out, all 6 robots wouldn't have to move and the cycle times would be fast and no defense would really be played.

Inbound(red or blue zone) > truss toss > catch(white zone) > pass to 3rd robot in(red or blue zone) > score in top goal

Robot wouldn't have to move and you could have <10 sec cycle time and at 60 points a cycle that puts the 50 point tech foul well balanced.

However they should have known that the game was NEVER going to play like that and adjusted the game accordingly during the design and rule making process.
