Re: Team Update 2 (2016)

I get that the GDC wants robots to play the game and challenge the tower themselves; however, I feel like it stifles late qualification round strategies of trying to limit your opponents getting additional ranking points and potentially overtaking you in the rankings. For example if your up on a team in the opposing alliance by 3 RP's. Your opponent is winning the game by more points than you could possibly score by trying to challenge yourself and their tower isn't weakened so no extra RP for you. It would make more since to try and deny your opponent the extra RP from capturing your tower rather than uselessly gaining game points for yourself.
