Flipping in general is an odd thing. For example if you were to hit a robot on the ramp to try and get 25 points, and it flipped over, teams cheer. But when ever a robot gets back up, I see those same teams cheering even louder. I know I did both.

the rule of thumb for this game seems to be whoever can knock the most boxes from the ramp onto their side generally wins.

So is stacking last time I checked, MOE won a finals round stacking. Lack of stratedgy? HOW? Stacks give me more headaches then balls in a goal. Getting the KOH points is also essential and has caused many new and interesting design concepts. I think maybe all this loss of gp stuff is due more to the less rescricting robot contact rules. 4 years ago you could hardly touch another robot, Now just about anything goes. But isn't that what our kind of robots do? (I'm talkin' the rover explorer kind. another whole discussion.) Gp isn't being lost, the game is just more exciting. that's why so many cheer. Compitition is like that.
As for the pre-arranged matches, they disgust me. Not only non-gp like; But in any other compititions, it's illegal.
