What would your Grandmother think about it if you continued to take those 10 points for the hopes of getting 40? 30 free points that takes a major portion of the game away. That seems to me like "little work" and "unfair."
If you do it once, I can see that as an accident. If you do it twice, it's a strategy.

Now to what Eric said. If a team were to do this little scheme more than once, I would guarantee that my team would never give an alliance slot to that team or accept a selection from that team for eliminations.
I can hear the question now: what if that means you don't play in the eliminations? Easy answer: Oh well. There is always next year.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
