Apart from S1-1 where we tried a different strategy, our other elimation wins were by respectable amouts.
Is it really that surprising that an aliance might want to try a purely offensive game to see if they could win on that alone? It was a different way to play but that was fine by us. We played the "stock" defend-when-not-holding-the-ball style in earlier matches and it worked too.
As the teams involved have already (repeatedly) stated, noone was forced into this and everyone played their best to win the match even if it did not involve trying to bash the other robots mercilessly. (Does anyone really think that Blue did not want to win the tournament??)
If it was just about the money then we could have just foul'd them over 200 and claimed the prize. We did not because thats not the spirt in which we were competing. The challenge was on the table the entire tournament and
noone did that in
any match because its not how we complete.
