Re: G14 Scenario

In one of our qualifying matches at SVR, we were paired with 254, and went up against an alliance that had no good scoring bots. We proceeded to pile up a lot of points while barely being scored on. With about 20 seconds left, we were looking at a x3 G14, which 254 did not want. So we had our third partner hold still while we dumped in a load on their trailer. The other alliance even scored a super cell, and in the end, the final score without penalties was 90-49, nowhere near risking a loss.

From this experience, I think that you should only score on yourselves if you're so far ahead and in danger of getting a x3 G14. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind taking the G14 in qualifications.
