Ok first off we should never mention the 2001 competition ever again. In all of the years of FIRST that was the only one that was bad. Next I agree people who are first to the goals are going to win the competition however, it is what a team does with that goal that will decide if they become the champions or eighth. Another thing I want to talk about is this malicious ramming rule. Who makes this rule and what if your trying to stop someone from getting to a goal. They make all of these analagies to football but its turning out to be soccer
Personally, I liked 2001. True, it was 4 vs. 0, but then it was also very competitive. One side would try to outdo the other for points, but without all the smashing and bashing.

They are trying to say "ramming is fine, but don't go out to damage". In essence, they don't want Battlebots style fighting, but a little bout here and there won't hurt anything.
