It does make the game more interesting during those two minutes. But... It is hard to see your machine being destroyed after all of the hard work. Worse yet, you now have to fix the machine. I recall a match a few years ago in New England where a team lowered it's arms and charged the other team like a bull after a defenseless matador. My heart went out to that team. I agree that you should try to design a robust robot for this type of battle, but there are other robot competitions that fight to the death. I pride ourselves on making a competitive machine that illustrates the spirit of FIRST in every match we play. Anybody can be a bully and intentionally try to destroy something good. I think the rules of the COMPETITION make the game better for everyone involved. The only place that I could accept this style of play is in the 'grudge matches' when the season is over. My 2 cents.
