This is the key. We don't build robots with the intent to win by pure luck or chance or the whim of some malfunctioning computer system. We intend to win by the effort we put in, the skill we develop, and the strategy we create.

If we come to expect to have a computer messup ruin our score/rank, why should we try hard to win?

And for those of you who say it is not about winning, it IS. Without a "win" to strive for, there would be no competition and we would be years behind where we are now. This is not an exhibition, it is a competition. In the real world, people notice you when you put on a show, they notice you when you are better than the next guy.

Competition is the key to this, well, competition. And innacurate scoring reduces the energy put forth in attempt to score well.
