anyone remember Dean's speach on fairness? If you can't understand the game, it's not fair to you, big deal. If the spectator's can't from your explination.. big deal..
Quote:
The object of the game is to collect and stack containers on your team’s side of the field. Each legal container
on your side of the field counts as one point. The final score is the result of multiplying the number of
containers in the highest stack by the total number of legal containers in your alliance’s scoring zone. An
additional 25 points is awarded for a robot that is positioned on the top of the ramp platform.

The only time in which a score will be reduced is when the highest bin is held by an opponent in the alliances zone. The majority of matches will probably end in a fight for king of the hill. It is not to a robot's advantage to be off the hill and reducing the bin score of their opponent when they could be on the hill.
The petition, and no disrespect to the poster or poster's team, is a, to put it bluntly, stupid idea. The rule's don't need to be changed and won't be changed.
Need to explain the game to your mother?
A height of a stack of bins in your teams zone times the number of bins minus the stack. Almost every match will end this way. If they ask: Why didn't that add up? then explain an opponent's robot holding a bin above the stack reduces the multiplier.
That's just about the extent of it. No worries, No petition needed.
