Re: 10 point goal versus 1 point goal
I had a hard time explaining to many other drive teams that a "pass-> truss+catch -> 1pt goal" (51pts) cycle was a far better option than "pass->pass -> high goal" (40pts) cycle. It can even be superior to a "pass->truss->high goal" cycle (50pts) and halves the opportunity to lose possession of the ball (only 1 shot vs 2). Heck, a 2-robot cycle of truss->catch->low goal is worth the same 31pts of a 3-assist low goal cycle with the potential to be much faster.
I hope many more teams recognize the utility of both trussing AND catching the truss shot (10pts each, awarded instantly) and then scoring in the low goal.
