Engineers tend to find creative and alternative solutions to problems. I am down in the rankings and I am currently way ahead in the match...I don't have access to their mobile goal and my human player can't reach their stationary goal. My robot can't score small balls. If they shoot while I am hovering above their goal with the big ball ready to cap it, I can up their score but limit it as well. It sounds like a creative solution to me.

But...I do see your point about it getting out of hand and leading to collusion. So from that aspect, yes, it is a very bad idea and should not be done. But obviosly many people had this thought and to be honest, it wasn't too hard to come up with.

Previous to your post, my signature was "I live in the loophole!" In hindsight, it could be taken the wrong way, but it sounds much better than "I live in a place where thinking differently about rules can lead to many more possibilities!"
