How will you know which robots are driven and coached the best? You can see who is best at scoring for the other goal. Some people underestimate this, but I can tell you from experience that trying to aim at a goal next to you is not easy. It took me a while to get the aiming down in practice. Im not sure if a driver could make this transition fast enough to be an effective scorer in elims. Who is the best coached will not be known at all. The coach would not need to work on any in game strategy because they dont have anyone against them.
I'm not saying that it makes sense for your entire strategy to be to score for the other alliance for the entirety of a regional event during qualifications. I'm saying there's situations where it makes sense to do so.
