What happens when a team gets stuck with teams who have non-functioning robots? You could have the best robot ever and have zero points for the entire competition just because of your partners.

The 2x your opponent score does make it tougher to strategize, but I think in the end it is a good thing. Even with a not so good robot, you could totally destroy the opponent last year just by plowing all the boxes into the neutral zone. The opponent could do the same. Then all you're left with is a really low scoring, boring match, basically like the second match of an elimination round. Things like this arent good for viewers more than complexity of the game, imho.
