OK wait, you want the rules changed because one team is doing too well? So by your thinking, should the Olympic committee have made Shawn White wear lead pants because he was having a "detrimental effect on the quality of the competition"? He had the gold medal locked up before he made his last run, how could that be fair? And of course Usain Bolt should have to wear lead shoes when he runs, it's not fair that he can't be beat. Did Michael Jordon hurt basketball? Jimmie Johnson seems to always win in NASCAR....
In 2008 (my first year in FIRST) 1114 made a machine that pretty much sewed up the match for their alliance by the end of hybrid, should the rules have been changed then? My advice to all who don't like the fact that a team is doing really well, is that you should come up with a way to beat them. Look at the rules that exist, devise a counter strategy, make a super scorer. Don't ask for a rule change or complain that they made a better bot than you did.
