If it takes your alliance 2 seconds to put a noodle into an RC you are losing a point every time you do it.

I know that not every noodle you throw is going to be a guaranteed 4 points. I'm just making the point that 6 points is not always better than 4. A human player throw takes up 0 seconds of robot time. A great human player throw can even slow down the other alliance
Maybe it would be better to think of it as 1.48 (points/sec)/robot. Since you have 3 robots, it's only .5ish points per sec. So now you have 4 seconds for it to be worth it.
