Re: Team Update #18 (Let's Try This Again)

As to the change to <S01>:
I believe this is an example of, “Be careful what you wish, it may come true.” A very proficient scoring machine will do an average of six tetras per match. (The powerhouse, Beatty #71 told me at MWR their average was 5.8) It’s usually the case that a score between 30 and 40 points will win a match. On average then, each infraction will end up costing the team about ½ of their points, or ¼ to 1/3 of the alliance’s score. Case in point would be when the red alliance at MWR finished the match with all three robots disabled for breaking the plane and yet won the match. I wonder whether they’d have won with 30 points deducted. Worse yet is, in knowing that they’ll live to finish the match, teams may become even more reckless than they already are. So, get ready for many more matches decided on penalty points.
