And another thing...

I agree that FIRST made a significant mistake in giving 25 points to the King of the Hill.

The degree of difficulty of stacking boxes vs. getting on the top of the ramp does not justify the relatively large score of 25 points for getting on top of the ramp.

I view this as somewhat the same as the ease of getting "home" via a tether last year being given the same point value as getting 10 balls in goal -- there was no contest what was the easier task. How many tethers where there at the Championships? How many teams could reliably get 10 balls in the goal? The votes are in and I suppose that it was a landslide.

It will most likely be a landslide this year as well when it comes how many teams will be able to stack in Texas vs how many teams are playing the King of the Hill game.
