I agree that this year's scoring system is confusing and impractical. For a couple of years, the folks at FIRST have said they were looking for a simple way to score the game, such that anyone walking by would be able to understand. Well, I think they missed again this year.
The idea of 'yellow = 1, black = 5' is legitimate, the hanging robots giving you poins is fine, but the average spectator is going to be mightily confused by the idea of a team scoring points for its opponents because the winner's score is affected by the loser's. It's just not something you see anywhere else, certainly not in sports (which is what this event is so often compared to).
And yes, it *definitely* impacts the amount of trust teams will feel toward one another. The first time someone gets taken to the cleaner the way Joe describes, the entire attitude of the game is going to be affected. We all like to think that it won't be, but reallistically speaking, we know that everyone will be thinking 'I wonder if that's going to happen to us.'
But hey, maybe I'm just a pessimist. Maybe it won't come up. I would prefer it that way too. But I think it unlikely.
