Aye, there's the rub. I was waiting for someone to bring this up. If any maneuver ever fell into the cheap, petty, un-GP category, it's this one. It's like taking a dive in boxing.

To teams who would consider this ploy, please don't wuss out like this. Besides, it completely contradicts FIRST's new Rah Rah Let's Go Offense mentality. To all offensive-lovin' teams, please don't be hypocrites and support this "strategy".
