I think we are going to need a rules committee.
Would the four points be in addition to the twenty possible points for just driving within bounds, or instead of it? (I only ask because both add up to twenty points.) Personally, I'd not be so hot on it in the former case, as then you're pretty much required to take the hard path to get a decent score. And when do you genuinely begin going for an object?

And to answer your question, I'm in Columbia, SC, home of Steve Spurrier and the Palmetto Regional. It's only eight hours or so by car. (The fact that I seem to show up at nearly every FIRST event in the state of Florida is because I have easy access to transportation and no life. )
