Koci is an unknown quantity at this point
The main problem with having a single ball or object of interest in a game is the fact that there is more than one robot on the field. If all four robots (assuming there are four robots in a game) go for a single object, that just equals collisions. By spacing out the game, as FIRST has always done, it decreases these collisions. In fact, this past year already had something similar to a single object, with the top of the ramp worth so many points per robot, causing a pushing and shoving match. Just imagine what will happen when this 12' x 4' area becomes the size of a soccer ball.
