It is NOT blue's fault, but rather a weaker robot. Yes, it is hard to make a competitive robot, but that's the point of FIRST. You win some, you lose some.
Redabot obviously wasn't fabricated well enough, wasn't strong enough, wasn't fast enough or didn't have a quick-enough thinking drive team. How is that blue's fault when all they did was try to defend the center goal?

see this is why I have a problem with this.. It's reds fault because they played the game better than blue team ( when I say better I mean achieved the offensive objectives) yet they will lose because of a loophole-
I think FIRST has realized.. defensive machines attract more viewers(which some become sponsors)... but we promote teamplay and cooperation.. and they are balancing a strange middle ground - FIRST could easily say.. only unintetional contact is allowed.. and you are allowed to play interference.. but not defense-- but that might lessen an audience or disable robots that have no other purpose but defense(usually because they didn't have the resources/interest/time to get the objectives) to be useless
