If matches can be won or lost by a human player, why did I bother building a robot?
Yup, after seeing you guys lose with 254 in quarterfinal 1-1 at Vegas to an alliance that only scored 5 balls from a robot, I told my drivers, "this game is broke".

This game allows way too much HP scoring that is entirely independent of robot skill.
