Kyle,
Each team has 3 stretcher coupons. I am not sure how many qualifying matches there will be, but there is an advantage to using your stretcher coupons.
If the stretcher is pulled into the endzone, then the alliance would receive 10 points. If the stretcher with a machine on it is pulled into the endzone, then the alliance would receive 20 points.
Not only does this give your alliance 10 extra points, but these points are then multiplied by the number of goals on the ramp and leftover time to give the overall qualification points. Potentially the extra 10 points from the stretcher could be multiplied by 12 (two goals on the ramp and doing this within 30 seconds) to give an extra 120 qualification points.
However, if a machine fails during the match then having a towbar would be useful.
There is no advantage for teams that don't use their stretcher coupons.
Mike C.
