It seems like they want a tie every match regardless of effort. Sorry but I'm really dissapointed with this one...

I've explored the descoring topic a bit on my own, and I haven't really found a really good way even before this prohibition...though remember, marketing major.
No intelligent team will go through an event without at least an attempt at a dumb run-the-heck-away-from-here routine. I don't know whether we'll see much robot-on-robot scoring in autonomous, but I could picture a fun round of jockeying for position--imagine a couple of robots double-teaming an opponent back into the corner, near-ideal conditions to let the human players pick a few off. (Or the same idea could bolster a partner's attempt to score a few balls autonomously.)
I fully expect things to remain quite interesting.
