The gist of it is, that it was never about the money. The money was a catalyst for a paradigm shift, and that paradigm shift allowed us to get almost twice as many points in our last finals match, compared to our first finals match. Yes, by having two robots sitting still. There is more than one way to play a game to win.
If that bothers you, I'm sorry. It didn't seem to bother the teams involved, nor the thousands of people watching it unfold before them.

Frankly I think you captured what the GDC had originally believed this game would be - less defense and more offense. It makes those 50 point penalties a little more palatable when you're scoring 300 points.
It certainly isn't the first time that the GDC has been a little surprised in what we've done to a game (re: minibot speed in 2011).
