Don't count goals scored for the opposition - Yes or No?

Travis, I take it you are against the collusion strategy. If the rule stands, where do you draw the line? As soon as a team begins to lose, i.e. teammate breaks, the other team has 3 balls in during autonomous and your team has 1 kicker etc. Are you asking those teams to believe in miracles and keep scoring hoping they will come out on top, but knowing all they're doing is multiplying the winning teams score? For the sake of honoring a win/loss gaming philosophy? I would feel silly telling my driver to keep on pumping up the other teams score for them and I won't, it's ridiculous! If you're going to get everyone riled up at the regional to take a stand against collusion, you really need to make it clear what are the "NEW" rules. I would rather leave that to FIRST.

However, I like your idea of no opponent scoring! But I think FIRST needs to act fast on this or at least make a public acknowledgment of this situation.
