Shout out to the GDC, I hear for video game dev's its really hard when an aspect of the the video game they make is blatantly ignored by the player base. I mean its time and effort people spent on making rules to account for as many situations and in the end, none of them mattered because someone had a cash incentive.
Also shout out to teams whose strategies and building choices were invalidated by this cash incentive. I vouched heavily against certain choices like mecanum (the regrets T_T) because I knew defense would be a problem this year and I valued pushing power over mobility. Any robot built around being a goalie is instantly at a disadvantage if you built around blocking shots and you suddenly have a big sponsor say "score a lot." If the challenge that was proposed included all aspects of the game and did not invalidate any strategies it would be a great addition to the game.
I should also point out that "heavy defense" in a lot of events have been so brutal. My favorite team (<3) wasn't able to compete in all eliminations due to defense being played and a robot being torn in half. So a game without defense would be relaxing every now and then.
