This part doesn't make sense to me at all. First, the red trackballs have no effect on the blue alliance's score. Second, if they are on the overpass all match, the red alliance can't score by hurdling or herding them, so they'll come down quickly anyway.

If you want the red alliance to outscore the blue alliance, just let them. Don't interfere with them. Play pure offense and do your best. If they're better at scoring than you are, they should win.

My philosophy: play the game. Don't "game" it.
