Was the robot in need of major repair? Otherwise, it's seems like an un-GP move to go to a competition with no intention of going through Eliminations. The presence of the team in Qualifications helped determine the spots of many of the other teams in the rankings - bowing out just to get some pit time is sketchy. It seems like a cheap way to get an advantage for the next competition.
