I agree completely. Many teams develop a strategy based around how the game is scored. They look at things like transit time, loading time, climbing time, and shooting time to evaluate trade-offs in different avenues of design.

Changing one of those metrics by 25%, or by about the amount you'd get with a transit of the field and a volley of 4 frisbees would drastically alter the model of the game, and invalidate a lot of the planning that went on to design the robots.
