Is it okay to "throw" a match that will be replayed?

You have a 45 pound hold back. Presuming you have measurements of your robot, you should be able to get pretty close before competition. Last year was the first year we had enough of a budget to build 2 robots. The prototype (practice), and the Competition. That helps with taking full advantage of the hold back.
