It not in the spirit of competion which is to do your best.
Not in the spirit of FIRST, which is to do your best
Not in the spirit of Enigneering which is to do things better, faster, and more effienent then other people.

But what makes Engineering hard (I think), is doing it better, faster, and more efficiently within the given constraints. <G14> is just another constraint.
Plain and simple, it will make for more even and exciting regular matches. And, if your robot is really good enough to blow your opponents out of the water every single time, you shouldn't find it too hard to toss them a few balls every now and then, or simply stop scoring, and wait for them to catch up a little bit.
But, as it is currently written, if during the eliminations the Red Alliance scores 121 points, while the Blue Alliance Scores 47 points, the Red Alliance will only get a single EMPTY CELL, and thus only one POWER CELL, in their next match. That has the potential to be huge! Do other people agree with this interpretation
