I see wisdom here. 
I could see how it would be difficult when you are trying for a top seed and another team wanted to try a maneuver that both of you agreed probably wouldn't work. Whether that be a failed autonomous, or spending 60 seconds at the feeder slot trying to load a tube and keeping that human player from feeding anybody else... There are gracious words to be used that make every alliance member feel valued, and sometimes there are minor sacrifices to be made. Inspire others first, win second.
Thanks Mark for the sage advice. I'll pass this along to my team before we compete this weekend.
