On the field, have you ever thought "hey, that alliance should get to go to champs instead of us -- so we will let them win"?
There are 2 ways teams can earn a spot, and one way is totally in line with what you're saying. My team has never won due to robot performance (though I won't be finishing a Master's degree and planning a wedding next build season, so that may change), and it isn't something we're ashamed of.
That said, there will always be a need for teams who want to buy a slot. I've already beaten that horse though.
Although you will see lot's of people complain about parts (sometimes that includes me) all of us are held to the same constraints. That's what makes this so much fun. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]
