Technical fouls should be rarer, and won't show up on rankings. If a team draws three, they are ineligible to become an alliance captian, and will finish with a maximum rank of 20.
Thanks to those of you who actually read all of that.

There is a problem I can see with this, and that is that teams could build very strong drivetrains with the purpose of pushing teams into the 3ft zone, in order to get 50 points. If teams were to employ this strategy, a powerhouse team could get disqualified, even if they were the best goal accomplishing robot, due to problems with defense. Cue mass hysteria throughout FRC.
