The other 2 blue robots were blocking their goals to assure the 0 for the red alliance.
Mark, the Simbotics wasn't doing that just to put on a show. They likely felt that they going 6v0 and getting a guaranteed ~30 pts. was the better move to help them seed high versus taking the chance of playing the match out against 111 and 469 and risking a much lower score if they lost.
Note I am just speculating on the above, I have no inside knowledge of 1114 strategy.

While unless someone here can actually talk to 1114, we can only speculate, but I too agree that was more then likely their strategy.
It paid off, it defiantly put them higher up in the rankings, and while they did sacrifice their no loose score, sometimes to take it all you have to do something like that.
