We did do this at the Midwest regional because we had not tested out code enough to use it in a competition. We the re-evaluated and found that there was little gain. We crashed
into a bunch of other bots, causing us to damage our bot and the human players in the middle still scored on us. We rewrote out code to allow different options, via a switch on our bot that allows us to go to one of many pre-defined points on the field.
