In the semi's and finals everyone will know who does what best. The only multiplier (other than time) is balancing the bridge with the goals. That, to me, is a one robot task.
The other robots will be sitting in the endzone, their disable buttons pushed. One 'selected' robot will be trying to balance the bridge. The pressure will be intense. Their alliance partners and the crowd will be screaming for them to hurry up and stop the clock. How high the score will depend on how well they can handle the pressure.
This is why I want that stupid gyro to balance the goal and not depend on driver skill.
