I agree. For every second of the match, there will be a relatively constant possibility of one of your alliance's payload specialists scoring one moon rock on an opposing robot's trailer due to the fact that each robot on the field will always been in range of an opposing payload specialist.

However, it is much more likely for a robot to score many points quickly, as they can get very close to the trailer and feed/dump/shoot several moon rocks much faster than the payload specialist can. IMO
