A game of strategy not necessarily ability
The qualification rounds are more a game of good strategy rather than good robot ability (but having a good robot doesn't hurt). Teams have to find a way to win consistently and at the same time make sure their opponents get a good score. This means ensuring that their opponent has a goal in scoring postion and sometimes filling it with balls for them. It may even require scoring in their endzone. I always get disappointed when I see a team win by more than 20 points, because it means they cheated themselves out of QP by not scoring enough for their opponent. As far as QP go, it's better to chance it and lose a 45-40 match than go for a blow out and win a 40-10 match.
