I totally disagree with this approach. Yeah, too bad you are tipped and can't score, but you should have thought of that when you designed that top heavy robot to begin with. What about the team that gets a red card and is knocked out of eliminations because your robot can't stand a little defensive pushing? Are we now not supposed to even play defense on you?
