This is a little off topic. A couple of times at VCU, we controlled the match well and played fairly. Then, the other alliance decided it was a good idea to spite us by pulling out of their endzone to drastically lower our score. In my opinion, that is not in the spirit of FIRST at all. I don't believe FIRST supports the idea of killing your own score just to hurt another team. Am I the only one who thinks this?
Joe J. brought up this strategy in another thread. (look towards the bottom of the page).

If you're out for a dominating victory, what do you care how many points your opponents score? If, on the other hand, you're out for a high QP victory, you need to be prepared and willing to score points for your opponent.

The point of the strategy is not to spite you, it's to force you to take action which would give them a chance.
