1. Contrary to most previous years, the qualifying matches will have, on average, much higher scores than the elimination matches.

2. Unless there is a revision to the definition of a "suspended robot", an alliance scoring eight points (three robots hanging) will be extremely rare. So rare in fact that it will never happen at least 40 regional competitions and a chance it will never happen in the FRC 2010.

Car Nack has spoken.

Neither are really surprising.
Defense will become much more important in the elims and unless there is a pairing like the 67, 111, 45 alliance in a qualification match you are probably not going to get teams together that are skilled enough to pull off an 8 point maneuver.
