True, doing those things in themselves might not be that bad. But, it would be diffucult to have the robot decided, "Hey, it's time to go chinup!" or, the same robot saying, "There's an opponent just sitting there waiting to decap this goal. I can get more points by defending it than going and doing the chinup." or "I'm on the platform and can hook myself, but my opponents are coming up. They'll win if I let them hook, so I have to hold them off till the very last possible second." That's more along the lines of what I was thinking.
