In many cases teams are scoring far more in noodle points than in anything else. I know my team was originally planing on to not even touch the noodles, but now I'm reconsidering seeing how many teams are scoring big on noodles. What do you guys think.

At the Dallas regionals, all three of our robots were disabled in our second semi-finals match. We still managed to score 28 points from just throwing Noddles, and for the time being this kept our average from dropping too low. Also, the noodles tend to get in the way of your opponents robots, forcing them to take alternate routes to score, getting caught in their wheels, as well as making them drop entire stacks. So noodles both give you points and essentially take away points from the opposing alliance.
