Re: High Goal Vs. Low Goal

To continue my thought process........
I believe that FIRST has designed a game with the potential for high scoring. And they heard people say they wanted robot interaction along with defense. But they developed a game with limited defense with harsh penalties associated with where you play defense. The updates continue to make defense even more difficult.

In years past they had games where a rookie team with limited resources would end up being a defensive bot (that potential is still there obviously) but those same bots can be very active helping to weaken the defenses. And those same bots can be involved in the end game this year. So, theoretically a team with limited resources can be very involved with power ranking points. (RP points)

The low hanging fruit is very inviting and everyone can be a major contributor on scoring.
