So don't look for descoring to come back any time soon. At least, not before 2010.

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.
