This is exactly right. FIRST is again mirroring real life. And in real life, when we build and design robotic and automated systems, it's safety first. Hitting a human in real life loses a lot more than 30 points.

We corrected ourselves; however, we are afraid of these penalties, they can really hurt your score. While we may dislike the high point penalties, it's part of the game and part of the challenge.

Just as a point, our alliance had plenty of defense and plenty of bashing from our fabulous partner, Team #350. We couldn't have won without them, our unsung hero.
We didn't get one penalty.
