How is this not points shaving/match fixing? I was fine with 6v0 in 2010 because there was a FIRST created situation that rewarded it. I suspect Mr. Sanghi's heart was in the right place but this 6v$ cheapens the entire FIRST robotics program for everyone.
Why didn't the human players just collect a couple technicals?
