Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

Agreed, shortly after posting I realized the same possibility, though I do believe scoring in such a manner will be rare.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

One last question:
what do the coopertition points do? I'm pretty sure last year they somehow affected your rankings. This year I can't find any info on it and it seems the only benefit of sharing a minibot is for the coopertition award?

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

I don't think teams will benefit from loaning out their robot like they think they will.
Lots of teams struggle simply using their own robot. I can't see teams who use another teams robot scoring with them because they haven't had enough time to learn how to use it properly.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

Unless its planned ahead.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

I agree. I think the only way teams will get a lot of Coopertition points this year, besides blind luck, is if they design with each other and plan it...

Doesn't that defeat the point of coopertition then?

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

I had the same question as I poured over the rules for the rankings and searched the Tournament document for the word Coopertition - nothing. Then as I looked at the Awards document I noticed there is a single Coopertition award given to the team with most cooperition points at the end of the event. That seems to be the only result for gaining CP's - other than being a cool team that's helping out of course!:)

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

So that's it?

It would be something cool to do but I really thought it helped somehow..

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

You mean like weeks ahead?
A few runs on the practice field before the match probably won't help all that much.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

Think even earlier.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

Kickoff is weeks earlier.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

After that xD

We might have a total of 3 teams working together to make the same exact minibot

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

That sounds more like a collaborative effort than making a robot to loan out to other teams to use in other matches.
What I'm thinking of is the team that you don't know who does not have a minibot. those teams cannot be relied on for points because they are not going to know what to do most likely.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

Thats how it started out, but now we might each make one, exactly the same, and rotate them. Team A gets team C's bot, B gets C's, C gets A's for the entire event.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

But how would they be able to tell whos robot is whos?
I don't think when they came up with the Coopertition points they had in mind teams doing that.

Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot
 

I saw a problem with that from the beginning. Even if another team is just using it for a match, on your alliance, how do they know?? Should I/someone Q&A this?
