Re: Aerial Assist Discussion Thread
I'm hoping I am terribly wrong, but it looks like this year will be even worse than 2012 when it comes to teams sabotaging alliance members to reduce their rankings. All you need is one team holding onto their ball after autonomous, and the whole alliance is relegated to a maximum of 50 points, even if the other two teams are the best teams in the world. If nothing is gained in auto but driving points, then the maximum becomes 30 points.
Of course, you could force the team to drop the ball, but things will still end up being a bit ugly.
Very un-GP? Yes, but what can you do at this moment without a rule change?
