If you talk to the "enemy" alliance before the match and set that you are going to tie in a very high score, then you don't have opponents anymore: you have 3 allies. Just like in 2001.
It will be easy to do an excelent score with half of the boxes and one robot at the platform, and you won't need to worry about the opponents bugging you: they will HELP you to do the same score. And then you get your score PLUS their score, wich will be A LOT of points and it won't be a very difficult thing to do.

When some teams realize that that's the best way to score points and start doing it several times, watching and playing the game won't be fun anymore.

Excellent point.

FIRST was probably hoping that people behave and keep in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism in this issue. Unfortunately, I bet there is someone out there that is willing to attempt this. Hopefully this will be prevented.
