Again it comes down to whether you design a robot for the finals or for elimination rounds. Take last year for example, grab all three goals to shut the other guy out you win. A number of bots went for the center goal for various reasons. We at S.P.A.M. elected to get to that goal first before anyone else could, hence the incrediblely fast drivetrain that even the cameras had trouble following at 12 ft per second. This in conjunction with handing the goal off to our alliance mate and then fighting for the other one gave us a high success rate. Sure, we weren't in the top in terms of rank but in the end we were in the finals. So to those pursuing the negative point strategy, it is a valid strategy and you just might win that way. Actually, make it go on a sort of lift/elevator so you can constantly change the multipliers. That way you can just park in the other alliance's scoring zone and adjust the score as necessary or how you feel like it!
