Go to Post Dean may have asked that every high school in America be involved with FIRST, but he never said [teams] all had to have separate high schools. - Amanda Morrison [more]

im sorry but just because the human player stacks stay up does not mean that the match was fixed. im sure a few matches were but its not fair to say that they all were.
more teams are beginnning to realize that leaving your opponents stacks up is very beneficial for their own score. in a match we had today at Great Lakes we had a score of 75 to 85, with both teams still having a stack of 5 in their zone and 0 robots on top(neither team counted due to a pushign match on top where both were touching the ramp). they werent up because the match was fixed they were up because it was a close match(2 bin difference) each team had a robot protecting the stacks and both teams were willing to take the risk of losing for a high QP.

if teams were more focused on a high score they would leave their opponents stacks up if it was a close match. if you loose you may still have a high score (75 instead of 17) and if you win you would get 150 from your opponent rather than 34
just my feelings, leave em up unless you absolutely need the win and arent willing to risk a possible loss
