Re: Goaltending...as a strategy?

though i understand the basketball analogy, i still don't think FIRST should allow people to goaltend in order to get more points. In basketball, the goal of every team is to win a championship, thus fouling is a simple measure they take to get to the finish. However in robotics, the most important thing is not winning; it is gracious professionalism. even if it is a great strategy, the FIRST volunteers and sponsors do not want to see a cooperative game end up like this.
