No doubt - hence the comment about HH, LEN, SCH. But I also think the changes to the point system were detrimental to sorting by robot quality. More points for 3rd round selections means that many teams ranked above the cutoff earned half or more of their total points from winning an event as one of the last picks. The changes to the award points were also detrimental (except for awarding points for EI & DCA). I wouldn't say that winning Quality/Industrial Design/Engineering Excellence is the equivalent of winning the Spirit/GP Award.
