Wouldn't an event with 50 box bots struggling to move score better than an event with 30 elite teams (254, 1114, 148...) and 20 box bots struggling to move? I'd agree that is a good measure of 'competitiveness', but it is a little misleading in a 'strongest event' thread.
Successful FIRST team members know they always can improve themselves, not just as a FIRST team, but as people who can offer something of value to society.
