Based on my recollections of the community 'responses' to FIRST games...I would think that the feedback was more in line with:
"We don't like that it is so easy for teams to undo what we did."

I would believe that most teams would accept descoring if it was suitably difficult, and I believe that teams would admire a robot capable of it.

That would be a far cry from 2003 when a robot could drive into a stack and undo 2 minutes of work in 2 seconds.

I'm sorry to hear that "descoring" was entirely removed from your matrix.
