Re: Are The Penalties Too High?

At the risk of posting a "me too" post, I think the penalties, while steep, encourage alliances to play smart and focus on being productive. They add an element of risk to playing aggressively in the opponent's zone, but should not affect an alliance which concentrates on scoring points rather than preventing the opposing alliance from making them.

From what we've seen on our practice field and what I saw on the webcasts, it appears that there are lanes through to the opposing end goals which a robot can use without risking 30 pt penalties. In the experience of teams which competed last week, is this correct?
