Jack,
After losing autonomous to the highly skilled and accurate 3 point shooters - You are forced to try and score during the next period (yours to score in and theirs to defend).
Side note-Which a flaw in the game design as the team that won autonomous is already rewarded with bonus points, and the team that lost is immediately required to reload taking time away from their offensive time length, all while the team winning autonomous is able to have their robots go and reload while playing defense. It would have been more interesting to see the team winning the auton period immediately go on offense, someone has to deal with the fact that you shot the balls and must collect more - why place that added burden on the team that is already 10+ points behind?
Back to your topic -
The robots cannot be in 2 places at once - they MUST score while still trying to stop the opposition from reloading. Take your choice, but in most cases the pill is bittersweet eitherway.
That strategy might work if that is the only way to even have a chance at winning - but with so many robots tipping over, the difficulty of the ramp climbing, the fact that teams can push your robot up the ramp and keep you there, the corner trap zones, and penalties, there is no assurance that the "don't let em' reload strategy would work either.
So, trying and dog them the entire match ends up being "pointless" to that team.
