But, that brings in its own problems... If you have a really good scoring/herding/whatever robot that you think can win on its own without the detriment of the other 2 moving goals to be scored against with, then the other 2 robots could simply e-stop, and reduce the opponent's ability to score. Not really GP, but as much as everyone likes to say that FIRST is not about the robots, or the competition, there exists a set of people among us that will take advantage of any opportunity afforded them that might aid them in winning. Sad, but true.

My guess is that they don't change this rule. Otherwise, what is to stop an alliance from getting ahead and disabling all of their robots? Again, not GP, but it is in the realm of possibility.
