This is just my opinion but I don't think that's very fair at all. I can understand that a team who ignores their alliance partners and just keeps the ball for themselves deserves to lose. But I've seen way to many matches where teams work hard forming strategies, and robots drop that strategy the first moment something go's wrong. Someone might miss a truss shot or miss scoring in a goal; the ball may fall out of a bot. As soon as this happens one or more robots on the alliance will just abandon all plans and take the ball to do whatever they want. Other times the match will begin to have robots just lose communications and sit on the field dead for the whole match.

What I'm trying to say is that it's not about the robots. There are robots for every strategy, but their are some teams that don't play well with any strategy.
