free points? who can pass that up, week one might be a high scoring week because of this issue, i honestly dont think a Payload Specialist would really care if he dumped 20 balls into a goal and won the match 86-20, but he would care if he only dumped 6 and lost 36-38

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.

There are teams like that, they will do ANYTHING to win, remember, some of us are lawyers and some are true engineers
