In a robotics competition, with emphasis on STEM, why does FIRST even have an option for human players to score points? Seems dumb to work so hard for six weeks only to have lose a match because the other alliance could accurately throw a basketball. Pool noodles and qualifying based on average score make it a little more palatable, but it's still crazy.
