Re: Scoring For Your Opponents
We didn't score for our opponents at GLR, and although we went undefeated, we were still the #2 seed as 1114 or 1503 (they look the same, ok?) went undefeated and scored for their opponents, raising their QP.
When we went to Detroit, we made sure that that never happened again. Having 1st pick of all the robots gives you a huge advantage.
I think this goes back to what Dean Kamen was saying last year in his speech at Nationals. While the world is getting more competitive, we can't just sit back and say "that's not fair" or say it shouldn't be that way. Things are as they are. People will always find new ways to give themselves an advantage. Sitting around and complaining about it won't get you anywhere. Competing with your opponents and doing better than them will.
