Every time we attempted to deploy, it went up, I believe 4 out of the 6 elimination matches we played.

For Seattle Olympic, though, I'm not sure what happened there.

It looks like very few Coopertition Awards are being given out; I'm not sure why. Even in cases where somebody's eligible... I wonder if there are a lot of ties for the award, throwing off the count, or if people are just forgetting that it exists.

We were the team you loaned your bot to (thank you very much).. and thanks for picking 2530 as your first alliance pick. I did ask queuing after our last Qual match if any sharing had occurred yet and they said none had, so unless the last few qual matches had any sharing (I doubt it) I think you can win the coopertition award for sharing in the elims, since 2169 did win it.

We specifically sought out a team from Cascade that had a good deployment system that was compatible, just to test this.

It threw the field people a loop since their system wouldn't accept our team number. Which was the reason given why we were not eligible for the coopertition award at Cascade. Though I'm not sure why they couldn't do a write-in tally since there were exactly 0 other shared minibots successfully deployed and there was no coopertition award given at Cascade.

We also loaned a minibot to 2147 on Olympic who successfully deployed it 3 times in qualifing and at least once in eliminations.

I will also dispute this, as this is never stated in the determination of Coopertition points. 5.3.5:

I am not sure if we recieved coopertiton points for it but I do know team 3221 won the coopertition award.

I take it you and the teams you lent your minibot to were on cascade as I don't see any of those team numbers on my olympic list. If you can confirm if one of those did successfully score in qualification matches and the aprox time I'll research it further and see if we can get your team the cascade coopertition award which was not given out at Cascade as verified by official FIRST results, WA and national FIRST officials, and the field announcer.
